About [Edit]
In 2006, a group called Democracy Unlimited (DUHC) based in Humboldt
County, California did something revolutionary; they passed a law that
limited the power of not just one corporation but all corporations in
their county. Known as measure T, the law bans out-of-county
corporations from participating in the electoral process. Their
success stymied strategies by WalMart and Pacific Lumber to buy out
politicians in order to log old growth forests and build superstores in
the county. DUHC’s campaign is part of a growing effort nationally to
challenge corporate power locally, reinvigorate democracy and place
human interests above corporate profit.
-- Listen to David Cobb and Shannon Tracey from DUHC tell their story --
-- Discuss campaign possibilities to limit corporate power in the bay area --
