Democracy Unlimited of Humboldt County
RESOURCE LIST

Democracy Unlimited of Humboldt County (DUHC) educates and organizes to dismantle corporate rule across California and SW Oregon. Inspired by the Program On Corporations, Law and Democracy (POCLAD) - which since 1993 has been generating materials on corporate and legal histories and conducting Rethinking the Corporation/ Rethinking Democracy meetings across the US - we lead workshops and discussions, distribute materials (everything we've produced is marked with a below), publish a newsletter, and just plain educate, organize, activate and strategize!

Please indicate which items you would like to order by writing the quantity you want in the box to the left of each item, providing your name and address on the bottom of this page and mailing the entire sheet to us with checks/money orders (or cash) made out to Democracy Unlimited. We'll send an updated Resource List with your order. All prices include shipping. Contact us for bulk prices.
