On this week’s program we have Part II of our interview with Pittsburgh City Councilman Doug Shields. Earlier this week the city adopted a ban prohibiting 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 about local economies – and why it’s so difficult to build one.

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.
If you are interested in having Democracy Matters broadcast on your local community radio station, give them a call and let them know.
