We the people of the United States of America petition the United States Government to make necessary changes in the language of the U.S. Constitution in order to more equitably reflect the diversity of our Nation. The Constitution of the United States was written over 200 years ago when this country was still greatly divided by race, the men who wrote it still owned slaves. In this new day and age, is it important that the U.S. Constitution acts as a guide to shape our governmental and societal systems, in order to combat racism and inequity. Since the Constitution has been written we have had an influx of migrants from all over the world that now make America as diverse as it has ever been. We have new technologies, we have experienced new wars, and we have made progress in many areas. Updating the U.S. Constitution is vital, and it should be done so FOR and BY the American people who are working towards a stronger, safer, more diverse America.

I spent the last two hours reading through the comments here and it is honestly overwhelming to see so many people thinking about the same structural problems. Sometimes I wonder if it feels like shouting into a void since I have not gotten a single real reply from anyone in D.C. yet but then I see the growth here and I know this is actually going somewhere.

Time to stop worshipping a piece of paper written by men who didnt even see us as human. Times change and so should the law.
The foundation is cracked. You cant paint over rust and call it new. We need a real update for modern times.
FIX IT. 🇺🇸
Justice for all will only come about when the rules and laws and protections is this country include the equal treatment of all humans. Change is now!!
We get updates on our phones, tablets and software every couple months but the constitution that was only made for white people was never updated.....
We really need The PEOPLE to be for The PEOPLE now more than ever. ✊
Change it please now.

The constitution was written by slave owners, not great leaders. Change is needed
