Democracy in the United States is a new 8- part series on how we can better exercise our democracy as citizens of the United States.

We are living in a time wherein corporations are writing our laws and electing our politicians. They have control over many state houses and much of Congress. As such, we, the people, are unable to protect ourselves or our communities from corporate harm.

Thomas Linzey, Senior Legal Councel Counsel for the Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights (CDER) presents a pathway forward and tells us what the problems are is and how we can fix it.  In the video series, he takes on the key barriers to our democracy – including preemption by higher levels of government over local communities, as well as corporate rights.

As we know, much of what is necessary is that we much break through the years of programming that has been telling us that there is nothing wrong with how things are set up. This new series shows where our system is breaking down and where we can fix it. 

This series is created by Tree Media for N2K - Need to Know. Click here to watch one or all of the 8-part video series.
