from the Program on Corporations, Law and Democracy (POCLAD):



NEW: Democracy Insurgency Campaign

Real change, led by We the People, is needed in our nation and world. A bottom-up democracy insurgency calling and working for genuine self-governance has begun.
The Declaration of Independence in 1776 was the first major collective statement in the colonies outlining oppression and asserting self-determination.
The Populists followed the same course 116 years later in their Omaha Platform of 1892.
One hundred and sixteen (116) years later is 2008.

Time for change again?

POCLAD is calling for individuals to come together beginning this year and in their own communities to JOIN OUR NEW CAMPAIGN TO LAUNCH A DEMOCRATIC INSURGENCY THAT PUTS CORPORATIONS ONCE AGAIN SUBORDINATE TO "We the People."

* Study and reflect on the political, legal and institutional oppressions of today,
* Learn about democracy campaigns and cooperative programs from democracy/anti-corporate organizations, and
* More consciously discuss what people are willing to do to work for real change over the long haul - beginning where they are.
* POCLAD has prepared resources to assist those who want to embark on this quest.
