The Daniel Pennock Democracy School teaches citizens and activists how to use democratic processes through people’s constitutional rights to confront corporate wrong-doing (such as by opposing toxic dumps, quarries, factory farms, etc.). In addition it explores the limits of conventional regulatory organizing and offers a new organizing model that helps citizens confront the usurpation by corporations of the rights of communities, people, and the earth.
