Welcome to Backbone Campaign!

Backbone Campaign amplifies the aspirations of "We the People" with creative strategies and artful activism to manifest a world where life, community, nature, and our obligations to future generations are honored as sacred.  

Backbone Campaign Pledge of Nonviolence: Backbone Campaign is a nonviolent movement-building organization that utilizes creative tactical tools and artful activism and is strongly committed to nonviolence in all of its work. We unequivocally condemn any form of violence, property destruction, or advocacy of violence by representatives of, or participants in Backbone-affiliated actions. We will not condone any actions that could endanger our supporters, the public, or counter-protestors. We consider any call for violence or behavior inconsistent with the above to be agent-provocateur-like behavior, and it will not be tolerated. To participate in Backbone actions, participants must agree to this nonviolence pledge.

WTP250 in DC on July 4, 2026

It acknowledges and takes accountability for our nation’s past failings. And it seeks to guarantee that the Declaration’s claims for universal rights means We the People includes everyone. By affirming these principles, our celebration of this country’s...

Pitch In and Keep the We the People Tour Going!

On July 4th, Backbone took the streets of DC with a vision for the future, a pivot for our movement from defining ourselves by what we're opposed to, to what we propose. We the People champions a vision for the future in which the arc of history continues to bend toward justice, expands liberty, and increases the welfare of all. Post July 4th, we'll organize region-wide tours of We the People (accompanied by Procession for the Future banners), to continue inspiring change. We also plan more trainings in light projection and want to get even more communities set up with this powerful tool, in time for fall and winter projection season. Donate $200 and we'll send you the new Backbone cap or t-shirt with 2026 updated platform planks!  Please scroll down to make a donation online; OR  Want to donate by check?
