Description
The Move to Amend organization, led by David Cobb, rejects the notion that corporations are persons. Cobb is an attorney, activist and former presidential candidate, and will speak on the key issues of the Move to Amend campaign: an organized nationwide effort to create a 28th amendment to the U.S. Constitution that addresses two serious legal issues threatening democracy in America: corporate personhood and money being considered free speech. Joining Cobb are Vermont Senator Virginia 'Ginny' Lyons, who has introduced a resolution to amend the constitution to end 'corporate personhood', and Jerry Greenfield, Co-Founder, Ben & Jerry's Homemade, Inc., shedding political and business insight on this important topic.
These events are sponsored by GMGF, Gund Institute of Ecological Economics and Department of Community Development and Applied Economics at UVM, and Move to Amend Coalition, with support from Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG), Clean Yield Asset Management, Saint Michael's College, Champlain College, Big Picture Theater, and Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF).
