Debate on the Democracy for All constitutional amendment began on the Senate floor on Monday. PFAW joined partner organizations, senators and representatives in a rally outside the U.S. Capitol in support of the amendment to overturn decisions like Citizens United and get big money out of elections. And we teamed up with our allies to deliver more than three million petition signatures in support of an amendment.
