“Common Sense” Newsletter – September 2026: Community Movement Building with Democracy School & Trainings

CELDF’s Executive Director Kai Huschke shares a message about a new version of CELDF’s Democracy School debuting in 2027, what the curriculum examines, and how much of what has been called a movement during the past two decades is more accurately understood as a collection of moments. Movements are rare. Kai explains why and what we need to do to give ourselves a shot at challenging and collapsing the dominant system for all life, not just people.

Democracy School defines a movement this way: “A successful movement changes the structure of law and governance, including transforming those without rights—often categorized as property—into rights-bearing entities. Movements link moments and interests, building momentum over time toward a specific objective.”
