*Occupy the Courts!*
Dear Friends,
You have a great opportunity to mark the second anniversary of the
Citizens United decision by joining your fellow outraged Americans in a
national day of rallies and protest across the country as we *Occupy the
Courts*
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=QFxkAU%2BIP98xBuZ0A5JoYrp%2FbCc2I9GB>.
Occupy the Courts is organized by the *Move to Amend*
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=qoMUjEscHf3rNkurdPHHDbp%2FbCc2I9GB> coalition
that is working to build a broad-based diverse grassroots movement to
pass an *amendment*
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=geMi1gROe7jwgKTG9QAvBrp%2FbCc2I9GB> that
states: corporations are not people and do not have the constitutional
rights of natural persons, and that money is not speech.
*WILPF is a founding organization of the Move to Amend coalition.***
*Occupy the Courts*
