News
from 2014 and plans for
the new year
Take
a look at our 2014
Report. We
accomplished a lot this
year, thanks to Alliance for
Democracy members,
organizers and volunteers.
In 2015 look for a new issue
of Justice
Rising on
alternatives to
agribusiness, support for public
banking, and
continued organizing on TPP
and TAFTA, including
establishing more
TPP Free Zones.
Support our work by becoming
a member, by renewing an
existing membership, or with
a gift to keep up the
grassroots fight against
corporate rule.

If
enacted, the
Trans-Pacific
Partnership would be the
biggest corporate power
grab so far this
millennium. Thankfully,
groups like AfD are
going to stop it. AfD
has been doing the
yeoman's work of not
just "educating
people" about the
dangers of the TPP,
but rather, arming
committed activists
with the tools they
need to
mobilize. The
TPP Free Zones
that AfD champions
are visionary.
That type of vision, and
the organizing to back
it up, are what's needed
to win.

Public Banking:
Creating Jobs, Building
Communities and Reclaiming
the Commons
Public control of the money
supply is essential after
the irresponsibility shown
by the private financial
industry. The
derivative-driven meltdown
of 2008 destroyed the
monetary system, throwing
people out of work and then
out of their homes all
across the country.
Establishing public banks is
an important first step in
taking control our common
financial system. Learn how
public banks function around
the world and how to make
one happen in your community
in this latest issue of
Justice Rising, available
online now as a complete
issue or single
articles. Our members
