In the seventh installment of our #DemandDemocracy video blog, Jason Miller with the Franciscan Action Network discusses the impact of big money in politics on issues important to the faith community.

With powerful individuals and corporations buying outsized influence in our political system, Miller notes, progress on issues like immigration, climate change, and peacemaking is often stymied. In response, members of the Franciscan Action Network have banded together to call for a constitutional amendment and gather signatures in support of such an amendment.

PFAW’s #DemandDemocracy video blog series is a collection of short videos that highlight how big money in politics affects — and often stalls progress on — a range of other critical issues.
