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.
