> Without public consent, how can officials “permit”industrial
> processes and pollution that destroy pristine land, clean water,
> and shared infrastructure? Democracy Schools offered by the
> Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF) examine how the
> American constitution has been reinterpreted and laws enacted to
> shift power from real people to “corporate persons.” Learn why
> large businesses have gained and seemingly possess more civil
> rights than the communities they overrule and impact, which often
> lack the authority to reject unfavorable development projects.
> Discover how people from Maine to Washington are working through
> their municipal governments to legally enforce economic and
> environmental sustainability. Explore next steps for passing city
> or county laws to expand protections for people and places, lives
> and livelihoods.
>
> Organizer Kai Huschke of CELDF in Spokane will lead the Moscow
> Democracy School Workshop discussing remedies to state and federal
> government enforcement of corporate rights to extract natural and
> financial resources from citizens and communities in Idaho and
> across the country. Please RSVP and register to participate in this
> timely, pro-active seminar held in the 1912 Center Fiske Room at
> 412 East Third Street in Moscow between 6:00 and 8:30 pm on Friday,
> March 23, and from 9 am until noon on Saturday, March 24. To cover
> presenter work, travel, venue, and materials costs, we are
> requesting a $15 registration donation upon arrival for the entire
> two-day-minimum session. Similar to workshops provided in
> Bellingham, Washington, where an anti-coal export train initiative
> has emerged, and in Washington County, Idaho, where strong natural
> gas facility regulations have developed, further descriptions and
> the agenda for the Moscow Democracy School Workshop are available
> on the Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT) (wildidahorisingtide.org) and
> CELDF (www.celdf.org) websites. Kai encourages participants who
> would like to further lead the campaigns that arise from the Moscow
> workshop to attend the more comprehensive Democracy School in
> Spokane on Friday and Saturday, April 6 and 7.
