BlogTalkRadio: Soldiers for Peace International: CELDF and Local Democracy with Kai Huschke
While corporations are granted growing numbers of "rights" by the courts, local communities are asserting community rights to local self-government, and to clean air, soil, and water - and banning corporate activities that violate those rights. Listen to Rick Staggenborg's interview with CELDF's Kai Huschke. The Right to Local Self-Government
What is the right of local, community self-government? Where did that right come from? The right is violated daily – what does that actually look like? And can we build sustainable communities without that right? If not, how do we change law to codify that right? CELDF’s Thomas Linzey answers these questions in this 20 minute slide show.
