Citizens United is going to finish us.

How Does the Citizens United Decision Still Affect Us in 2025?
January 21, 2025

Voters have a right to know which wealthy special interests are spending big money to influence our vote and our government to rig the political system in their favor.

But years of living under the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (FEC), commonly known as Citizens United, has made it easier than ever for special interests like corporations and billionaires to funnel vast sums of money into our elections.

Often, they do so in secret, through tactics that keep Americans in the dark about who is paying to influence their vote, or while illegally coordinating with candidates’ campaigns yet facing no accountability.

On Jan. 21, 2010, the Court struck down existing limits on corporate independent expenditures — how much money a corporation can directly spend in support of a political campaign — which has since enabled corporations and other outside groups to engage in unlimited amounts of campaign spending.
