August 7-9: Community Organizing for Deep Democracy Retreat
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.
