THE SECOND ANNUAL ALLIANCE FOR DEMOCRACY NATIONAL CONVENTION
Thursday, October 30 - Sunday, November 2, 1997 (important
pre-conference sessions on Wednesday, October 29),
Mount Conference Center, Atchison, Kansas
Join Alliance colleagues from around the country this Halloween
to haunt corporate agribusiness and Declare Independence from
Corporate Rule. We meet in the mid-America town of Atchison, Kansas,
birthplace of Amelia Earhart 100 years ago.
Last year we founded the Alliance in the Texas hill country where
the 19th Century American Populist movement began to grow. This
year we honor Kansas, where the Populists organized cooperatives,
achieved massive self-education, and refused to concede to large
corporations the economic and political power to which they had
no democratic right and no democratic legitimacy.
We will reaffirm those principles by celebrating our own
Chautauqua and challenging corporate agribusiness as our
political forebears did. BRING A COSTUME TO TRICK OR TREAT AT
nearby corporation and for our Food Circle dinner and Halloween party.
Confirmed speakers so far include Alliance founder Ronnie Dugger,
co-chair Ruth Caplan, human rights leader and activist
comedian Dick Gregory, and international organizer against NAFTA and the
Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI) Tony Clarke of Canada,
with many surprise guests expected.
The four-day program begins with pre-conference dialogue
Wednesday, Oct. 29, about Alliance constitutional issues and
writing a Declaration of Independence from Corporate Rule. Come
and speak up on questions that will determine our future!
Convention goals:
(1) set future strategies and actions;
(2) launch alliances with others who share our vision,
emphasizing multicultural links;
(3) revitalize the issue networks (task forces) begun last year
and add new ones as needed (e.g., on global democracy and trade,
the corporate chartering and governance process, tobacco and
international public health, biogenetics and biopiracy, and
social security and the stock market);
(4) establish our internal democratic governance policies and
practices; and
(5) explore future Alliance projects. Ideas: a world computer
clearinghouse on alternative economics and human-sized economic
forms; renewable energy sources and democratic public utilities;
a permanent corporate education project that would publish
essays, reports and booklets; and field work to build a
nationwide Alliance movement.
SEE BELOW FOR INFORMATION on transportation, housing and
meals. REGISTER NOW on the form provided to get early-bird
benefits. Then COME--and help build a populist people's movement
to shape a democratic future for our own and future generations.
