Community Rights educator Paul Cienfuegos explains how We The People are exercising the authority to govern ourselves and dismantle corporate rule. When small farmers in rural Pennsylvania wanted to say no to a corporate factory farm coming into their community, they learned they couldnt, because it would violate the corporations rights and state pre-emption laws. So they did something technically illegal - their town passed an innovative ordinance banning corporate factory farming. It worked! The corporation left town. Pittsburgh upshifted the approach: Rather than define what we dont want, define what we DO want. Their Right to Water stopped natural gas fracking in the city. Ordinances like this have been passed in over 150 communities in 9 states.
