Convention of States is a Houston-based nonprofit focused on mobilizing grassroots supporters around constitutional reform. Its stated aim is to build an organized base of self-governing activists to advocate for an Article V convention, through which states could propose amendments to limit federal power. The organization targets three areas for potential amendments: term limits, fiscal restraints, and limits on the federal government's jurisdiction. In practice, it operates in the civic-advocacy space, coordinating grassroots activity to advance its reform agenda. It has formed partnerships with polling firms such as Susquehanna Polling and Research and The Trafalgar Group to assess public sentiment, and it has engaged in public outreach activity, including attending the National Rifle Association's Annual Meeting & Exhibits in Atlanta in April 2025. Headquartered in Houston, the organization is described as a mid-sized nonprofit focused on organizing supporters around its constitutional solution.
