Real change doesn't come from watching from the sidelines — it comes from participation. At American Promise, we believe government works best when more people are directly involved in shaping it. That’s how we build a system that truly reflects the public it serves.

Last week, Equal Citizens presented our work at @earthxorg in Texas. Alongside @usapromise, we explained that moving the needle on environmental sustainability goals will require a radical reimagination of the US’s campaign finance system.

📰@nytimes reports the Virginia ballot measure on redistricting was heavily influenced by dark money. Of the $98 million raised by ad groups, at least 96% came from nonprofits that don't reveal donors — on both sides. Voters decided, but the debate itself was shaped by funders they couldn't see.

Today is Patriots’ Day. American Promise is closed in observance. The day marks April 19, 1775, when colonists in Concord rose against distant rule, demanding representation and asserting a principle that still resonates: power should rest with We the People.

25 states have called on Congress — who’s next? Momentum must grow to all 50, with Americans speaking up and organizing to pass and ratify the amendment. This is how We the People restore the power to set the rules for money in elections.

Power is shared between the federal government, the states, and the people. We work to strengthen that balance in money in politics — so voters and their representatives help set the rules for elections.

What Will the For Our Freedom Amendment Do? It offers a lasting, constitutional solution to protect free speech and the equal right of every American to representation and a vote that counts. 💪 americanpromise.net
