Move to Amend Day is an observance established to study and address the political influence of corporate entities – including Political Action Committees and unions – within the United States’ political landscape. It originated from a 2014 initiative that advocated for a constitutional amendment to establish that corporations are not people and money is not speech.

• Timing: The Village Council designates one day within the first fifteen days of March, every odd-numbered year, as Move to Amend Day.
• Purpose: The objective is to assess the impact of corporate political influence on local, state, and national elections.
• Public Involvement: Members of the general public have the opportunity to speak on these matters for up to five minutes per person during a public meeting.
• Record Keeping: The minutes of the meeting are recorded and made available to the public on the Village website, and a summary of the meeting is sent to the leaders of the Ohio House and Senate, to our U.S. Congressional Representative, and to both Ohio Senators.
