Have you wondered why, even after 40 plus years of regulations like the Clean Air Act and Clear Water Act, etc., our environment is in worse shape? Are you concerned about our food systems or sustainability issues in your community? Have you wondered how legislation constantly overrules the will of people and communities? Democracy School walks you through the why's as well as how communities across the U.S. are pioneering a new form of organizing that asserts local control to protect the rights of their residents, communities, and nature.
The Green Cities Coalition is pleased to bring the Democracy School to southern Colorado. We have two dates reserved and would like very much for those interested in achieving more local control for their community to join us for these 1.5 day events.
First session is Friday March 9th, 5:30-9:30p and Saturday March 10th, 9:00a to 5:00p
Second session is Monday March 12th, 5:30-9:30p and Tuesday March 13th, 9:00a to 5:00p
Location : 420 N. Nevada Ave, Downtown Colorado Springs
An Evite has beed sent to those who have expressed interest in attending. Feel free to forward the Evite to others who might be interested. We are allowed 25 participants for each session. We will send out registration and payment information after the classes are filled.
The cost for this opportunity is $150 per participant. The bulk of this fee is to bring lecturers from the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (www.CELDF.org) here from Pennsylvania where they have helped many communities take back local control over issues basic to the needs of people and families.
