Shaker Heights Move to Amend

10/01/2026

Film showing on October 10 at 7pm at the West Shore UU Church, 20401 Hilliard Blvd, Rocky River, OH 44116. Steve Norris with Cleveland Move to Amend will speak following the film and staff a table. Attend and stop by!

A New York Times Critic’s Pick! Heist: Who Stole the American Dream? reveals how American corporations orchestrated the dismantling of middle-class prosperity through rampant deregulation, the outsourcing of jobs, and tax policies favoring businesses and the wealthy.

The collapse of the U.S. economy is the result of conscious choices made over thirty-five years by a small group: leaders of corporations and their elected allies, and the biggest lobbying interest in Washington, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

To these individuals, the collapse is not a catastrophe, but rather the planned outcome of their long, patient work. For the rest of the country, it is merely the biggest heist in American history.

Think there’s too much money in politics?
Does it seem that corporations have too much power in our community, state and nation?

In 2016, 82% of Shaker Heights residents approved a citizen-drive ballot initiative calling on Congress to pass a Constitutional Amendment stating that corporations do not have constitutional rights and money is not “free speech.” The initiative also called for City Council to sponsor an every-other-year public hearing to examine the impact on our neighborhoods, city, stateand nation of political influence by corporate entities and big money.

Shaker Heights City Council will sponsor its fifth “Democracy Day” public hearing on Monday, September 8.

The public is invited to attend and provide testimony for up to five minutes each, remotely or in person.

As required by the 2016 ballot initiative, City Council will send to all federal representatives (Representative Shontel Brown and Senators Bernie Moreno and John Husted) and the Ohio Representative and Senator representing Shaker Heights summarizing the public hearing and reminding them that Shaker Heights voters in 2016 voted to urge Congress to pass a constitutional amendment ending "money as free speech" and "corporate personhood."
