Join us in Bozeman for this special one-day workshop and strategy retreat, facilitated by Jeff Milchen, Reclaim Democracy’s founder and nationally-known speaker and writer. Milchen’s commentaries on behalf of pro-democracy and localization work have been published by more than 40 newspapers and magazines, including the Washington Post, Inc. Magazine, Adbusters, The Ecologist and many others. He also speaks internationally on these topics. Many of today’s Democracy Movement leaders made leaps forward in their work as a result from participating in workshops much like this (including several led by Milchen). Corporations wield great power over our elections, our government agencies, lawmakers and much of civil society, often using that power to advance their interests at the expense of the public good. How can we reign in corporate power and ensure that corporations act responsibly? This workshop and strategy retreat will grapple with the roots of corruption of our democracy and help you gain deeper understanding and tools for becoming more effective agents of change. The workshop will prod you to question some of your basic assumptions, deepen your understanding, and ultimately help sharpen your focus and effectiveness as an active citizen. We’ll work to develop strategies on how each campaign we wage in Montana can be part of a larger movement to dismantle corporate power and revive democracy. We’ll also explore “next steps” after the overwhelming, but symbolic success of the I-166 initiative. Format
