Corporate personhood strategy session in Concord, Massachusetts

This Sunday, join Boston-area AfD members, local activists, and citizens concerned about corporate rule at the Alliance for Democracy's southern New England member meeting. Not a member? Come anyway!

Seating is limited, since the venue is a member's home in Concord--please email afd@thealliancefordemocracy.org for location and directions and to RSVP, or if you need a ride from the train station!

We'll be meeting from 4-7 p.m on Sunday, November 8 with:

• Ruth Caplan, Director, Alliance for Democracy’s Defending Water for Life project--How have small towns organized to take away corporate personhood rights?
• Jeffrey Clements--the Concord lawyer who authored an amicus curiae brief in “Citizens United v. FEC”—the “Hillary, the Movie” case. The case will be decided by the US Supreme Court and could overturn decades of hard-fought victories against corporate influence peddling in elections.

If you'd like to stay for a potluck dinner! Please consider bringing an entrée, vegetable or salad, or dessert to share (local ingredients if you can!). If not, Jeffrey and Ruth will be speaking from 4 to 5:30 or so, with questions.

Get involved! Come find out what the national organization has been doing, what local chapters and members are working on, and how you can participate in creating a healthy democracy—locally and nationally. Join old friends and new for good food, good conversation and good news about grassroots alternatives to corporate rule.
