Community Roots

Candler, NC

The Community Rights Movement is dismantling corporate rule, putting people and planets over profits. The current law sees nature as property from which resources should be extracted in pursuit of endless growth and gives corporations the privilege of “personhood” and rights. The Community Bill of Rights is paradigm shifting local level legislation that asserts our rights for local self-governance over those of for-profit corporations. It is a crucial step in building sustainable communities. The Community Bill of Rights has been passed in 200 communities in the US, let’s add Asheville, Buncombe County and Western NC to that list.
