Listen to CELDF’s radio program – Democracy Matters – every Thursday at 10 am Eastern/7am Pacific at www.kyrs.org. You can also podcast the show each week at kyrs.org/podcasts.cfm, click on “Democracy Matters.”
On this week’s program, we take a look at the dire state of the world’s fisheries and whether certification programs like the Marine Stewardship Council’s – which uses it “eco-label” to deem fish as sustainable – are actually helping to recover fish stocks. We talk with Stacey Schmader who runs the national Democracy School Program, as well as take a look at the Electoral College – why the popular vote for president doesn’t matter and what some states are doing about it.
Each week we bring you stories from the frontlines as communities bring rights-based organizing to their communities – asserting their local self-governing authority to make the critical decisions that affect their lives and their community.
