You can take concrete action to help end Big Money in politics this weekend at the NCLC—whether you will be in attendance or supporting from afar.

Starting tomorrow, the National Citizen Leadership Conference (NCLC) will connect hundreds of citizen leaders in the fight for the 28th amendment to get money out of politics. Many Americans report feeling disempowered and at a loss for how to create a government that works for people, not money. But you can make a difference—just do one of these action items to advance the 28th amendment—whether at the NCLC or at home. We want all of you to help us amplify the spirit and messages from the conference.
