DEMOCRACY CRISIS
And its impact on the environment
The program DEMOCRACY CRISIS discusses how corporations procured so much 
legal power to themselves and also demonstrates how corporate rights trump 
the rights of communities and environmentalists in working for environmental 
justice. Marybeth Gardam will be giving this presentation to Sierra Club. 
Central Iowa Sierra public programs are now held at Northwest Community 
Center, 51st Street and Franklin Avenue in Des Moines.  Contact Jane at
