Program on Corporations, Law and Democracy (POCLAD)
POCLAD is a group of people instigating conversations and actions to contest the authority of corporations to define our culture, govern our nation and plunder the Earth. We work in the tradition of people's struggles to replace illegitimate and tyrannical institutions with democratic ones that disperse rather than concentrate wealth and power.
Over the past several years, a new ferment has surfaced, seeking to assert citizen sovereignty over corporations and revitalize the principle of self-rule — the essence of democracy.
