We the People offers powerful portraits of communities across the United States that have faced threats from environmentally destructive corporate projects and responded by successfully banning those projects at a local level. Their method is an answer for the frustrations of untold numbers of activists who have been defeated time and again by corporate political power and legal entitlement. This book can teach us to create from the ground up what we want, basing our vision in local control and law. This work is about giving up the illusion of democracy, forging a system of true self-governance, and recognizing in law, that nature possesses legally enforceable rights of its own.
