Democracy School in Newport
As part of their grassroots organizing LCCR and CELDF are partnering to host the Daniel Pennock Democracy School. In two sessions, residents and activists can learn why and how to reframe exhausting and often discouraging single issue work (such as opposing current forest practices, pipelines, food sovereignty, election integrity, sludge dumping, and more…) in a way where they can confront corporate control and state interference on a powerful single front: peoples’ and nature’s inalienable rights.
