Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknape: Challenging Corporate Rule
Channel: Ed Mays
Date: 2021-04-13

Move to Amend National Director Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap talks about the origins of the MTA national democracy movement in the late 90s struggle to save the Redwoods in Northern California and lays out the history of corporate power in the US.

The influence of money in elections and corporations is decimating education, health care, elections, the economy, the justice system, the environment and the right of We the People to decide. And it will worsen until we build an authentic, diverse, democracy movement that works to end corporate constitutional rights and the doctrine that money is equal to free speech, but which also includes changing laws and rules that have historically oppressed people and communities.

Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap is the National Director of Move to Amend, President of the Board of Directors of Democracy Unlimited, and a Local Democracy Fellow for the Liberty Tree Foundation. She has served as a member of the National Leadership Team of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom’s campaign to Challenge Corporate Power, Assert the People’s Rights, the STORY (Strategy Training and Organizing Resources for Youth) Board of the Center for Story-Based Strategy and as a Principal with Program on Corporations Law & Democracy.
