A grassroots movement to defend local communities from corporations is celebrating 16 years of successes. The new COMMUNITY RIGHTS MOVEMENT created binding ordinances that prevent hydraulic fracking, industrial hog-farms, water withdrawals by giant bottling plants, corporate mining, and so on – with many more projects under way.

The non-profit law firm that is supporting the movement is CELDF, the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund. Paul Cienfuegos works closely with CELDF’s attorneys and he is teaching workshops to inspire communities to set and defend their own local ordinances.

I recorded Cienfuegos on July 1, 2013 at the Little Lake Grange in Willits, California. Cienfuegos is a workshop leader, lecturer and writer.
This is ONE 29 min. program
