Rights of Nature Presentation with CORE and Community Shares of Wisconsin

Rights of Nature Presentation with CORE and Community Shares of Wisconsin

May 4, 2022 12:00 PM CST

Our nation has been built on the concept that corporations have legal personhood and constitutional rights, but the United States has never granted the same rights to nature. However, through grassroots and nonprofit efforts local communities, countries, and tribal nations have established laws to recognize and protect the legal rights of nature.

Community Shares of Wisconsin and CORE invite you to an informational session on the Rights of Nature movement on Wednesday, May 4 from 12:00-1:00 pm CST. on Zoom. We will discuss this movement in detail with Guy Reiter, the executive director of Menīkānaehkem, and Mari Margil, the executive director of the Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights.

The Rights of Nature movement reflects a growing understanding that nature deserves our respect, protection, and legal rights. Register in advance for our Zoom conversation.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
