Move to Amend
Jennie (Moderator)is a National Co-Director for the Move to Amend Coalition.
As a journalist, she observed the immense stranglehold corporate power exerts over our government and communities. This experience shaped her perspective and fostered a deep passion and focus in her organizing work on environmental, social and economic justice issues leading her to collaborate with various intersectional grassroots movements dedicated to building a just and sustainable future.
The power reaped from the insane notion of corporate constitutional rights exists in tandem with structural oppression, and environmental degradation and is found as a cause of so many injustices. Move to Amend and the #WeThePeopleAmendment strikes at the root of that reality.
Jennie continues to live a fairly nomadic life, but in recent years calls the sacred ancestral Gulf Coast land, of the Apalachee Nation; the Muscogee Creek Nation, the Miccosukee Tribe, and Seminole Tribe, home again. In addition to building people power to end corporate rule, she receives immense pleasure from spending time with her clan, creating and cultivating things, hiking and soaking in natural springs.
