ReclaimDemocracy.org works to create a representative democracy with an actively participating public, where citizens don’t merely choose from a menu of options determined by elites, but play an active role in guiding the country and its political agenda. We believe that one’s influence should be a direct result of the quality of one’s ideas and the energy one puts into promoting these ideas, independent of wealth or status.

Our founder, Ronnie Dugger, said almost twenty years ago, and it’s still true: behind every pressing issue, from global hunger to climate change to growing economic inequality in the US, the problem behind the problem is the overwhelming influence of major corporations on government and policy-making.
To correct the damage the Supreme Court has done to the First Amendment and the Constitution, we need to pass a constitutional amendment of our own that puts people ahead of corporations.
