Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court handed billionaires and corporations a permission slip to spend unlimited money to influence our elections — often through shadowy groups that keep donors hidden.
The result? More misleading ads, more corruption, and more politicians who listen to the biggest check instead of their constituents. That's what "dark money" buys.
What 16 years of Citizens United looks like: - Unlimited spending to tilt close races and drown out everyday voters.
- Secretive pipelines that hide donors while shaping policy behind the scenes.
- More pressure on lawmakers to serve the donor class — not the public.

Here's the good news: this isn't hopeless. A growing group of Democrats are fighting alongside OCU to end this nightmare — including Chris Murphy, Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Bernie Sanders. They know the only permanent fix is a Constitutional Amendment to overturn Citizens United.
But we can't win this with speeches alone. We need visible, measurable grassroots momentum that lawmakers can't ignore.
Can you chip in $5 today to power OCU's Amendment Fund and mark the 16-year anniversary with action? »»
Thank you for sticking with this fight, Sandeep.
