Legalizing The Rights Of Earth And Community

Challenging the Corporate State
Claiming Our Rights and the Rights of Nature

July 7 - 9 2006

We need an ethic that encompasses the sustaining of ecological community, not simply the members of community in isolation from each other — Rosemary Reuther

IF

• as a community leader or elected official, you have been frustrated in your efforts to protect your community and local environment;
• you are tired of corporate and public officials using the law against your community and the natural world;
• you are a teacher of ethics;
• you want to reframe your work to focus on the fundamental structures of injustice;
• you want to learn how communities can begin to seize the right to self-government;

Then join others for this one-of-a-kind participatory conference, convened by NACCE and CELDF, that builds on the success of the Daniel Pennock Democracy Schools.

About NACCE & CELDF

Incorporated in 1986, the North American Coalition for Christianity and Ecology is the first organization in North America founded to bring together the worlds of Christianity and ecology. NACCE's key belief is that the continuing devastation of Earth is a crisis of the human spirit. The Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund was launched in 1995 to provide free legal help to grassroots environmental organizations and develop creative new strategies to strengthen community control over corporations.
