  • A Call to Resist

    Chris Hedges has again issued a call to conversion, a call to leave behind the moral inertia that the global system of corporate domination instills in its subjects, a call to rise up for the sake of life.  He says, “It is time to build radical mass movements that defy all formal centers of power…

  • 127 Years is Enough

    All of the issues that I write about are tied together and exacerbated by growing corporate power.  Huge transnational corporations now dominate nature, culture, political systems, and the rule-making institutions of the global economy.  As an antidote, I support the movement to Amend the Constitution to make it clear that corporations should not have constitutional…

  • A Moment of Profound Choice

    We are at the beginning of a new era in the earth’s history. Humanity has reached a crossroads, a moment of profound choice between two incompatible futures.

  • Amend the Constitution to Limit Corporate Power

    Tonight is the first 2013 meeting of our local Nevada County Move to Amend coalition.  We are part of a national coalition that is working to pass a constitutional amendment that would abolish corporate personhood and make clear that money is not the same as free speech. Why get back to work on this issue? We’ve…

  • Global Agreement from Hell

    The Trans-Pacific Partnership:   A Global Agreement from Hell: In Seattle in 1999 and again in Cancun in 2003, I joined in nonviolent direct action to shut down the meetings of the World Trade Organization, one of the most powerful and anti-democratic global institutions this world has ever seen.  Public opposition has taken its toll…
