What is Citizens United and how did it unleash unlimited amounts of money in our elections? How do we undo Citizens United? Come learn about the Corporate Power Reset that would make Citizens United irrelevant. By using their authority to define what corporations are—and what powers they hold—states can end the era of corporate and dark money in U.S. politics. Many states are now looking at this option, including Montana, Colorado, New York, and now Washington State.
