Educated We Stand: https://www.educatedwestand.com/“Communities across the US are experiencing a well-funded push by far-right activists to reshape American ideology through a takeover of public education. Their goal is to require public schools to teach conservative ideology, removing diversity of thought.” EWS’s goal is to counter this far-right push. Locally, the far-right group to work against is Moms For Liberty.

End Corporate Rule. Legalize Democracy
Get on their mailing list and receive actions with clear guidance and templates.
Move to Amend is a national, non-partisan, grassroots organization that seeks to blunt corporate power by amending the United States Constitution to end corporate personhood and state that money is not speech.[1] The group was created in response to the 2010 Supreme Court ruling Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which held that corporations have a First Amendment right to make expenditures from their general treasuries supporting or opposing candidates for political office, arguing that the Court’s decision disrupts the democratic process by granting disproportionate influence to the wealthy.[2] Move to Amend advocates for the “We the People” Amendment, currently in Congress as H.J.Res. 54, to establish that constitutional rights are reserved for natural persons only and require the regulation and disclosure of spending in U.S. elections.[3]
This Will Hold: thiswillhold@substack.comTWH is all about election shenanigans by the Right, since Reagan. What you may have suspected is quantified and explained here, including the Suspects. This Will Hold is left-leaning in editorial perspective, with a strong anti-authoritarian, anti-billionaire, anti-corporate framing. Its content asserts that the 2024 U.S. election was manipulated by a coordinated network involving Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Palantir, Eaton Corporation, and Pro V&V. The core exposé, “She Won. They Didn’t Just Change the Machines,” connects these entities to alleged software changes, Starlink data manipulation, and electronic vote infiltration—framing the event as a “digital occupation” benefiting Donald Trump. Believable conspiracy theory backed by nearly inscrutable statistics. Wildly interesting.
