DESCRIPTION:Thursday, 7 pm - 9 pm   
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------  
 Come hear compelling, lively, informative accounts about the burgeoning 
 anti-corporate globalization movement, and get inspired. Join 
 activist/authors Kevin Danaher and Jason Mark as they discuss their new 
 book, “Insurrection: Citizen Challenges to Corporate Power.” Half of 
 the world's 100 largest economies are not nations, they are corporations, 
 and a mere 500 companies control 70% of world trade. Corporate campaign 
 cash elects our politicians. Corporate lobbyists write our laws. But a 
 growing number of people – environmental activists, trade unionists, 
 family farmers – are challenging the power of giant corporations, 
 demanding that they be held accountable to someone other than their 
 shareholders. “Insurrection” presents a series of stories chronicling 
 the accomplishments of the corporate accountability movement: the 
 uncovering of major retailers' links to sweatshop abuses; the revelation 
 that big tobacco companies deceived the public about the health risks of 
 smoking; the questioning of corporations' ties to repressive dictatorships; 
 the shaming of food processors into selling dolphin-safe tuna; and the 
 battles against NAFTA and the WTO. Each of these struggles seek to fulfill 
 the idea that in a democracy, no institution is above the law.
