>Dear Joanna,
>You have a great opportunity to mark the second anniversary of the Citizens United decision by joining your fellow outraged Americans across the country as we Occupy the Courts. 
>
>Occupy the Courts is organized by Move to Amend, the national coalition building a  broad-based diverse grassroots movement to pass an amendment that states corporations are not people and do not have the constitutional rights of natural persons, and that money is not speech.  
>
>Occupy the Courts on Friday, January 20 is a one day action at Federal courthouses across the US, including the Supreme Court. Events are now planned in 91 cities!
>Listen to AfD co-chair and Portland (OR) chapter president David Delk explain why we should "occupy the courts" and find an event near you here. 
>If there is no event near you, organize one now—it's not too late! Click here to sign up.

>Download signs, fliers and more here! 
>Check out Alliance for Democracy's Tools for Organizing pages for downloadable fliers, posters, stickers, and ideas for street theater.
>
>Order materials no later than Friday, January 13 so it arrives in time for your event on the 20th. Email afd at thealliancefordemocracy.org or call 781-894-1179. 
>Occupy the Courts is endorsed by national groups, including the Coffee Party, and by climate activist Bill McKibben. 
> 
>Print signs large for rallies or smaller for the window of your car! Bumper stickers, too! 
>Bill was a member of the Alliance’s John Muir Democracy Brigade,  arrested along with other environmentalists in the Capitol Rotunda in April 2000 to  protest big money in politics. The fight continues. Regardless of your issue—climate change, jobs, education, health care,  poverty—if you want systemic change and your voice to be heard, join this growing grassroots US democracy movement.

>Alliance for Democracy is one of the founding Move to Amend organizations. AfD chapters have planned and are working in coalition with other groups on Occupy the Courts actions in California, Maine, Oregon, Massachusetts, and Indiana.
>Occupy the Courts is inspired by Occupy Wall Street encampments across the country, and by Dr. Cornel West, who in the early days of the DC occupation was one of 19 people who marked the dedication of the Martin Luther King memorial by civil disobedience and arrest at the Supreme Court.  
>Connect with others in your area, plan an action, and keep growing the  movement to restore constitutional rights to real people!

>See you down at the courthouse on the 20th!
