Who is working on changing the campaign finance rules in the wake of the Citizens United decision, and how can I help?
I am concerned about the long term effects of the Supreme Court's decision in the Citizens United case. Are there individuals or organizations whose primary goal is to increase transparency/otherwise limit corporate campaign contributions? Where can I learn more about them, and/or donate resources?

Lots of campaign transparency work takes place at the local level--so you might want to do some purely local searches. For instance, my organization which has no a very low profile, even locally, outside the legal community has a couple projects to improve transparency with regard to judicial election contributions and to improve rules requiring recusal. I believe Justice at Stake has resources for finding reform groups in your area.

Russ Feingold founded Progressives United in response to Citizen's United to fight that decision. Considering that he's the Feingold of McCain-Feingold Act fame, he seems like a pretty good person to follow regarding campaign finance reform.
