Retake Our Democracy, 11am Saturday on KSFR 101.1. FM.

Hodge is the founder and director of Local Futures, previously known as the International Society for Ecology and Culture (ISEC). Local Futures is a non-profit organization dedicated to the revitalization of cultural and biological diversity, and the strengthening of local communities and economies worldwide. Norberg-Hodge is the author of Ancient Futures (1991), a book about tradition and change in the Himalayan region of Ladakh. An outspoken critic of economic globalization, she co-founded – along with Jerry Mander, Doug Tompkins, Vandana Shiva, Martin Khor and others – the International Forum on Globalization (IFG) in 1994. She is a leading proponent of localization as an antidote to the problems arising from globalization, and founded the International Alliance for Localization (IAL) in 2014. Norberg-Hodge produced and co-directed the award-winning documentary film The Economics of Happiness (2011), which lays out her arguments against economic globalization and for localization.

Join the Southern Christian Leadership Conference New Mexico Chapter at SFAI for a 2-day introductory training to Kingian Nonviolence philosophy and methodology. The training will be led by Dr. Bernard Lafayette Jr., American Civil Rights Leader and recipient of the Gandhi International Humanitarian Award, with co-trainer Jonathan “Globe” Lewis.
That’s it for today. I wanted you to get an opportunity to register for the Kingian Non-Violence training before it sells out, and to attend the House Party for Chainbreaker, and to listen to the radioshow Saturday morning. We will be in Las Vegas, NM at the Democratic Party State Central Committee meeting tomorrow, but there will be a follow-up post on the roots of Puerto Rico’s economic enslavement.
We close with a tremendous video explaining just how bad the Trump Tax Plan is.
