WE ARE CONGRESS Movement Launches to Reignite Discussion on Individual Liberty, Representation, and the Ninth Amendment

June 9, 2026
The WE ARE CONGRESS Movement officially launches today with a simple but powerful message:
"We Are Congress."
The movement encourages Americans to reexamine the relationship between liberty, representation, and political participation through the lens of the Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
At the center of the movement is the belief that rights belong to the people first, and that liberty includes the ability of individuals to directly express, advocate, organize, and participate in the governance of their nation rather than relying solely on elected representatives to speak on their behalf.
The Ninth Amendment states:
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Supporters of the movement view this amendment as one of the Constitution's strongest affirmations that the people retain rights beyond those specifically listed in the document.
The movement's founding message argues that the Constitution was established to secure the liberty of the people, and that elected officials derive their authority from the consent of those they represent-not the other way around.
"WE ARE CONGRESS is not a campaign for a political party," said organizers. "It is a reminder that sovereignty ultimately rests with the people. Every American has a voice, every American has a stake in the future of the nation, and every American has the right to participate in shaping it."
The movement also highlights what organizers describe as a historical principle preserved through the Ninth Amendment: that the people retain powers and rights that are not surrendered simply because representatives have been elected to serve in government.
Rather than promoting a specific legislative agenda, WE ARE CONGRESS seeks to encourage civic engagement, constitutional literacy, peaceful advocacy, public discussion, and greater participation in democratic processes.
Core principles of the movement include:
Liberty belongs to the people.
Rights exist beyond those specifically listed in the Constitution.
Government derives authority from the people.
Citizens should actively participate in public affairs.
Every American voice matters.
Representation should never replace civic responsibility.
The launch campaign includes educational materials, public discussions, digital media initiatives, and constitutional awareness projects focused on the Ninth Amendment and the role of citizens in a constitutional republic.
The movement's primary message can be summarized in a single statement:
"You do not surrender your voice when you elect a representative. The people remain the source of authority. We Are Congress."
