Democracy School: Laying the Foundation for Asserting Community Rights!
[Interview with Thomas Linzey]
Created by the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF) and Richard Grossman, co-founder of the Program on Corporations, Law, and Democracy (POCLAD), Democracy Schools were launched with five weekend sessions at Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania in 2003. Since then, the number of schools has grown rapidly. In 2007, there are well over a dozen locations across the country offering Democracy Schools, including the San Francisco schools hosted by Global Exchange!
Upcoming Schools: There are currently no upcoming schools scheduled in California but please check back to this site for announcements on future schools. Or, contact Shannon Biggs, Director of the Community Rights program by e-mail: shannon@globalexchange.org, or by phone, (415) 575-5540.
Reviews:
-Kenny Ausubel '05, Founder and Co-Executive Director, Bioneers
"Democracy School was a mind-blowing experience. During the School, I was forced to come to grips with the understanding that I really knew very little about the true structure of law that controls our activism. Democracy School is a must for everyone who seeks to be liberated from our defensive, after-the-fact reactive organizing strategies."
