SUMMARY:Democracy School with Thomas Linzey
DESCRIPTION:How can communities live our democracy through self-govern
 ance, and say no to corporations and those in governance who put corpo
 rate interests above those of people, nature, & democracy?\n \nWhy ar
 e corporations able to make decisions on how our community is cared fo
 r, instead of we the people having the right to make the decision?\nAt
  Democracy School we learn why large corporations seemingly possess mo
 re rights than the communities in which they do business, and why comm
 unities often lack the legal authority to say \"no\" to projects that 
 they don't want.\nWe learn what prior movements of people in the Unite
 d States have done when the legal system failed them;  and Discuss th
 e next steps for passing laws to expand protections for people, commun
 ities and nature. \nThe 'school' is offered Friday evening and Saturd
 ay, with shared potluck or dutch meal afterwards.\nPresented by CELDF
