Independence from Corporate Rule

[Mike Hersh]

PDA's Educate Congress letter drops this month are focused on constitutional amendments to end corporate personhood. (See link http://pdacommunity.org/issues/educate-congress and below).

We need people to deliver letters in every district in Maryland and on Capitol Hill. If we can pull it together, we'd like to also hold a rally in Maryland and/or on Capitol Hill. Please let me know if you're interested in one or more of those actions on or around July 16th. 

Also, please contact Mina Itabashi at MIta...@citizen.org if you can help her organize against "fast track" and terrible (so-called) trade deals. She needs a few people to step up for July 4th at parades in Hoyer's and Delaney's districts. There will be more actions in the critical months ahead. 

Best,

Mike
