End Citizens United’s Mission: End Citizens United is the leading electoral organization dedicated to fixing our democracy, getting big money out of politics and protecting the right to vote. We are a grassroots movement made up of millions of supporters across the country dedicated to fighting corruption from Washington to Wall Street to State Capitals. Over the past 10 years, the organization has grown from a start-up to an established force that is driving change across the country. We have raised over $230 million to fight back against the powerful special interests and have over 1.4 million individual donors. This grassroots power has changed the face of the pro-democracy movement and helped respond to the ever-increasing corruption, attacks on democracy, and voter suppression that we see in our country. Over the past five cycles, we have helped elect over 700 candidates up and down the ballot. These leaders have kept reform efforts at the top of the agenda and pushed forward on impactful policies. Over the coming years, we will continue combatting big money in politics, voter suppression, and corruption, both federally and at the state level, through organizing, electoral work, research and messaging, and legislative advocacy.
