Joined by family and fellow activists, and cheered by demonstrators and curious onlookers alike, Laird and Robin Monahan finished their cross-country walk Wednesday, October 20, with a clarion cal to “follow in their footsteps” and build locally for a national movement to amend the Constitution to end corporate personhood.

Move To Amend recently issued a press release about the brothers' cross-country effort.

They entered West Virginia on Sunday, on their way to Washington, D.C., and are in Charleston today.
