Event Description

How can communities live our democracy through self-governance, and say no to corporations and those in governance who put corporate interests above those of people, nature, & democracy?

 

Why are corporations able to make decisions on how our community is cared for, instead of we the people having the right to make the decision?

At Democracy School we learn why large corporations seemingly possess more rights than the communities in which they do business, and why communities often lack the legal authority to say "no" to projects that they don't want.

We learn what prior movements of people in the United States have done when the legal system failed them;  and Discuss the next steps for passing laws to expand protections for people, communities and nature. 

The 'school' is offered Friday evening and Saturday, with shared potluck or dutch meal afterwards.

Presented by CELDF (Community Enviornmental Legal Defense Fund) http://www.celdf.org
