Fair Share
Mission: To build an America where everyone gets their fair share, does their fair share, pays their fair share; and where everyone plays by the same rules.
Fair Share encourages people to stand up and take action when the rules are rigged to favor the wealthy and powerful, or when big corporations cheat the system. It also helps elect leaders who will fight for opportunity for all of us to succeed and helps defeat those who stand in the way.
Current Democracy Work
Currently, Fair Share is working to give all Americans a voice in our democracy through the power of petitioning. It focuses on petitioning in support of an amendment to overturn Citizens United.
Recent Successes
In 2012, Fair Share worked with CoPIRG to qualify and pass Amendment 65 in Colorado. Amendment 65 instructs Colorado’s congressional body to support a constitutional amendment that would end unlimited campaign contributions and declare that corporations are not people.
