Focusing on a systemic historical and legal analysis of corporate power and democracy, this three-day experience is designed to help activists more effectively and fundamentally challenge corporate power, rather than simply organize corporation by corporation and harm by harm. The School is dedicated to the memory of Daniel Pennock, a 17 year old Berks County, Pennsylvania boy who died in 1995 after being exposed to land applied sewage sludge. His parents, Antoinette and Russell Pennock, travel the state seeking an end to that practice of sludge disposal -- from which waste management corporations reap massive profits from hauling and spreading sludge on farmland. This program is conceived, designed, and run byThe Community Environmental Legal Defense Fundand theProgram on Corporations, Law, and Democracy
