February events

The National Campaign to End Corporate Personhood and Demand Real Democracy!



Dear concerned citizens in CRNMC:

        Jim Tarbell and Michael St. John invite you join them at the Mendocino College Community Extension Workshop on Grassroots Solutions to Corporate Power at the Fort Bragg campus, starting February 12, 2015.  We will be meeting for 14 sessions on Thursday evening from 7-8:30 PM.
        Alliance for Democracy's Justice Rising: Grassroots Solutions to Corporate Rule, the publication that Jim created and has edited for the past ten years, will be the major resource for this workshop.  Over one hundred authors, all experts in various aspects of corporate power and popular efforts to claim our democratic rights and power, have contributed to making Justice Rising the salient publication documenting the rise of resistance to corporate power. Authors have included Raj Patel, Herman Daly, Vandana Shiva, and many others.  All of the issues of Justice Rising are available online at http://thealliancefordemocracy.org/

The 14 sessions will be split into four subject areas:

o Corporations, Democracy, & The Rise of Grassroots Popular Power
        February 12,19, 26 & March 5
o Economic Democracy or Corporate Hegemony? - March 12,19, 26
o Saving the Environment from Corporate Destruction - April 9,16 & 23
o Who or What will Rule the World? Local/Global Governance
        April 30 & May 7, 14 & 21

They will discuss the history of corporate power and of popular democracy, although they will mainly be looking at how these two movements function today and where they are going in the future.

  You can sign up for the Workshop by phone at (707) 468-3236 or online at

Join us in learning: how to keep corporate money from ruining our democracy; effective approaches to stop corporate practices from poisoning our planet; and ways to inhibit corporate self-interest from ruining our economy.  We look forward to seeing you there.

MOVE TO AMEND COALITION

We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling and other related cases, and move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.
