Are you disturbed by the Supreme Court ruling on corporate campaign contributions?



“Be The Change: How To Get What You Want In Your Community."

With Thomas Linzey, I tell the story of small communities in Pennsylvania, Maine, New Hampshire and California who are pioneering a new structure of law, which does not recognize the personhood rights of corporations.

The Supreme Court says corporations are persons.
These citizens disagreed, and did something about it.

Find out about the beginnings of a movement to amend the constitution to ban corporate personhood, in order to protect our democracy, our communities and nature itself.

I wrote this book about the ground breaking and inspirational work being done to protect people and nature from mining and sludge dumping and water bottling corporations by passing local laws that strip these corporations of their personhood rights and give nature a right to exist, be free from harm, and flourish. These laws are written with the help of environmental lawyer Thomas Linzey and CELDF - the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund. (CELDF.org)
