*Want democracy? Come to Minneapolis this August!*

If July 4th left you hankering after some real democracy, come make the
connections, hear the ideas, and share the skills that will invigorate your
movement-building at the Democracy Convention III
<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Y0oaeX4IP7C0ax5i9o2AnGHxagHPcMfC>,
August
2 – 6, at the University of Minnesota, in Minneapolis.

The Alliance for Democracy will be there, organizing the Earth Rights and
Global Democracy Conference linking global work to defend Mother Earth and
the rights of communities and ecosystems to thrive and survive to the
issues important to us in the US, such as: fair trade, water, food and
agriculture, climate.

the full program will be posted soon.

Here’s just a taste of the Earth Rights & Global Democracy panels: the
Renegotiating NAFTA panel will add a gender and racial justice analysis;
and panels on the false solutions to global warming of cap and trade and
carbon tax, stopping GE Eucalyptus forests slated for our southeastern
states responsible for the terrible fires in Chile and Portugal, on bottled
water,  frac-sand mining and more.

Ronnie Cummins, International Director of the Organic Consumers
Association, will speak on “Connecting the Dots: Bringing the Food,
Climate, Natural Health and Democracy Movements Together in a Powerful
Force for Revolution.” The great line-up of Convention Plenary speakers
will be posted soon.

Earth Rights and Global Democracy is one of eight distinct, yet
interrelated conferences at this third Democracy Convention. You can also
