Kundalini Splendor

The following announcement from the Shift Network is extremely important.  Corporate power is in fact taking over our world, proceeding almost unchecked in "destroying our planet."  Only if the people band together to oppose this takeover will we survive.

COMING UP!

FRIDAY, June 20 at 12:00pm Pacific - Challenging Corporate Power: Locally! with Stephanie Hervey, Sustainable World Coalition
Dear Dorothy Walters,

Can you believe we are almost sliding into the last week of the Sustainability Action Program? Before the home stretch next week, though, we’re addressing the very important topic of transforming corporate control. There was an amazing call on Monday on corporate personhood (still time to listen in!), and Friday you’ll hear from the mayor of Richmond, California about how their town is transforming. Check it out!


COMING UP NEXT on Spring of Sustainability
THIS FRIDAY, June 20, 12:00pm Pacific



Challenging Corporate Power: Locally! with Stephanie Hervey, Sustainable World Coalition

Can cities challenge corporations? Yes! Leveraging the creative power of local municipalities – where personal connections still matter more than big money – is a viable means to reinvigorate democracy and challenge corporate greed. But, as Mayor Gayle McLaughlin knows, it’s not easy. The citizens of Richmond, California have taken on big oil, big money, and big sugar. Join our live conversation with Mayor McLaughlin to learn how a working class town of predominantly low-income people of color has mustered the people-power necessary to become a more sustainable, equitable, and corporate-savvy city.
