STRIKING DOWN DEMOCRACY: How our Rights are Hijacked by Corporations in our Communities
Thursday, November 11 at 5:00 - 6:30 pm PT | 6:00 - 7:30 pm MT | 7:00 - 8:30 CT | 8:00 - 9:30 pm ET
Live on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.
Laws and regulations passed by local elected officials and citizen-driven ballot initiatives protecting or expanding the health, safety and/or welfare of residents, the environment, and "democracy" are increasingly overturned by state and federal elected officials and courts. Political, economic, social, environmental and psychological harms are the results. This anti-democratic preemption of local decisions is due to a culture and constitutional rules protecting property and profit over people and the planet.
Learn about this problem and solutions both from the bottom-up and top-down from two organizations that centralize creating authentic democracy and abolishing corporate constitutional rights.
