San Luis Obispo -- Author and community activist, Shannon Biggs, will

Topics to be covered include:

    * Do our local communities have the right to self-determine
      stewardship of the lands where we live?
    * Does Nature have a Right to simply exist, persist, maintain and
      regenerate?
    * What is Corporate Personhood? And what Rights does our community
      have to abate and mitigate their impacts where we live?

Shannon Biggs, co-author of the book, The Rights Of Nature, and Director 
of the Community Rights Organizing Program at Global Exchange and Kylie 
Nealis, Community Rights Program Associate at Global Exchange, will lead 
San Luis Obispo County residents through an evening of information, 
discussion and a call for action.

Learn how Las Vegas, NM, passed the first community bill of rights in 
the Southwest recently.  The City of Las Vegas adopted a rights based 
ordinance establishing a local Bill of Rights and banning fracking and 
related activities.

Should a river have the right to flow? Should trees have the right to 
grow? What does it mean to give rights to nature and how different would 
our world look if we did? Everyone is invited to attend this special 
interactive presentation on nature's rights where the leaders will 
explore these questions and the emerging global movement for Mother 
Earth's rights.

Sponsored by San Luis Obispo County Transition Towns, Empower Poly, and 
People of Faith for Justice (formerly CCCLJ).
