All of the communities we work with are seeking to take control of their local destinies and to subordinate corporations to local democratic control by passing rights-based laws.
In so doing they link arms with over 150 communities across the U.S. [1] that have stopped working defensively against specific corporate harms and taken courageous action to assert their right to decide in the place where they live.
Our role as rights-based organizers in California
In California, Global Exchange is the contact organization for community rights organizing. We are currently working with the following communities on active rights-based campaigns:
- Culver City on banning fracking
- San Luis Obispo on banning fracking
- Mendocino County around the right to local food sovereignty
- Nevada City around the right to local food sovereignty
- Mt. Shasta around the right to local food sovereignty
- Santa Monica around the right to be a sustainable city
