How We Get There

The authority to amend the Constitution of the United States is derived from Article V of the Constitution. The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, or the amendment can be proposed by a convention of the states called by 34 state legislatures.

After it is proposed, any amendment must be ratified by 38 states.

It is important to put pressure directly on Members of Congress to support the specific amendment that will be strong and effective at addressing the crisis of our democracy.

But first and foremost, we need to build the citizen movement with the passion, size and strength to push this U.S. Constitutional amendment to victory! Click here to volunteer or learn more!
