The Democracy Convention

Although Trump and his band of loyal lackeys continue to prove their mastery in creating chaos on a daily basis, they have also revealed their complete disdain for democracy and the checks and balances it requires.

It unfortunately appears that it took emerging fascism to wake up the masses to corporate rule.

At long last, people from myriad communities have moved into the streets to resist inhumane policies, speak out against systemic oppression, and seek solutions to an overwhelming number of issues. This is what the beginning of a mass social movement looks like, but without a good offense, these defensive measures will fail in the long run.

Join the movement to legalize democracy and help build democracy in the US. Register for Democracy Convention 2017 in Minneapolis, August 2-6. 

With seven different conferences under one roof, there’s something for everybody interested in democratizing our institutions and building real participatory democracy.

Move to Amend is a convening organization as well as the anchor organization for the Democratizing the Constitution Conference, and we need your participation both during and before the convention.

Money should not be a factor driving attendance. Fees to register and attend the Democracy Convention are very low to attract students, low-income folks, and others with a desire to build the Democracy Movement. Our goal is to bring as many people to this convention as possible, especially those on the front lines of struggle.
