The Sonoma New Economy Project

warmly invites you to the next Speaker Series event

March 19 from 6-8 pm at the Share Exchange, 531 5th Street in Santa Rosa:

Ending Corporate Personhood: 

Foundations of a True Democracy for Building a New Economy

Americans proudly hold the U.S. Constitution's declaration of "We the People" as defining our nation. Yet, as the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision of 2010 opened the door for unlimited, anonymous corporate spending on our elections, the harsh reality of our democracy being usurped by corporate money-powered interests under these "rights of corporate personhood" became undeniable. This poses a serious challenge for building a New Economy upon a strong transparent democracy. How did we get here, and what can we do to create a democracy true to the principle of one person, one vote?

This year Move to Amend chapters in four California counties are working to qualify initiatives for their county ballot calling for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that states that corporations are not people, and money is not free speech.  Similar initiatives are springing up all around the country.  Learn more about this rapidly-growing movement to truly democratize our democracy with Amy Hanks of Move to Amend Sonoma County.  Attendees wishing to help qualify Sonoma County's "Build Democracy, End Corporate Rule" initiative for the ballot are welcome to stay after the presentation to get petitions and training to support this effort.

There is an optional $5 donation at the door, though no one will be turned away. Looking forward to seeing you... please spread the word!

-Your friends at the Sonoma New Economy Project
