Federal courts increasingly rule in favor of corporations, effectively subjugating human rights, with land owners not paying the true cost of development, passing on such costs, like pollution cleanup, to our communities. Terra Friedrichs will illustrate how this "system of value extraction" works, how the money works, and how this affects public services.</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Helvetica; color: rgb(84, 0, 0); min-height: 19px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="5" color="#540000" style="font: 16.0px Helvetica; color: #540000">Serious reforms are taking place at the local level to push back, to provide for "the commons," human needs, like: clean water, clean air, and a living wage.
