On this week’s program we have Part I of our interview with Pittsburgh City Councilman Doug Shieldswho recently introduced a measure that would ban corporations from natural gas drilling in the city, despite opposition which says the city doesn’t have the power to do so. We also talk genetically modified crops – who’s planting them, which corporations have patented them, and how those decisions affect the farmers and the food that you eat.

Each week on Democracy Matters 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.
