Meeting

The monthly meeting of the local affiliate of the national Move to Amend organization that is calling for a U.S. Constitutional amendment to reverse several U.S. Supreme Court decisions during the past century and thereby to firmly establish that corporations are not people and that money is not free speech. Find out what can be done locally to restore democracy! Bring a brown bag lunch.

Our mission is to empower marginalized communities by expanding their capacity to convert their social power into significant economic driving forces that propel social justice movements towards victory. We advocate for alternative economic models that pose serious challenges to the existing capitalist system.

Our focus for these meetings will be to draft an alternative economic vision, community-building strategy and implementation plan for central Ohio.

We will watch the film “Total War” [the 9-22-1998 episode of the PBS “People’s Century” documentary series]. World War II was the first modern conflict in which millions more civilians died than soldiers. As economic production became essential to military success, civilians were conscripted into factories and suddenly became targets of the war machines. In “Total War,” witnesses from Britain, Germany, Russian, Korea, Japan, and the United States tell the story of the civilians — children, sisters, brothers — who suffered and died in World War II.
