August 7-9: Community Organizing for Deep Democracy
2009 Community Organizing for Deep Democracy Retreat August 7-9 in Humboldt County, CA
This full weekend workshop will help participants effectively organize in their own communities to reclaim citizen sovereignty and will offer tangible strategies for actions that we can collectively take to get our democracy back from corporations. This three-day intensive workshop will challenge the deep assumptions that we all hold about what it means to live in a democracy and what the proper role of the corporation is. We will draw on history as well as current events to illustrate the changing role of the corporation over time and how seriously our past people’s struggles have taken the concept of democracy.
Deep Democracy Retreats are right for you if you are:
-
* An activist, leader, organizer, trainer, or elected official engaged in issues of economic, environmental or social justice in your community;
-
* An educator, activist, organizer, trainer, or elected official seeking to improve your understanding of the history of corporate power and more effective strategies for resistance.
By the end of the weekend participants will have a background on how corporate leaders and current judicial interpretations of the law are preventing us from defining our own communities.
Emphasis of this weekend will be on giving participants the history, analysis, networks, and legal and educational strategies to more successfully organize for local democracy in their communities.
Registration deadline is July 1 – Click here for registration form and more information: http://duhc.org/deepDemocracy.html
