Act Out! Episode 10 - Life is short, corporations aren’t people, the #BaltimoreUprising

Act Out! Episode 10 - Life is short, corporations aren’t people, the #BaltimoreUprising
Wed, 5/6/2015

We don’t have a lot of time on this pale blue dot, so do something…like end corporate personhood! David Cobb and George Friday of Move to Amend dive into a myriad of ways you can act – from singing "Happy Birthday" inside a bank to hanging with your neighbors over a few drinks. Eleanor shows us, with the help of cats, why corporations aren’t people, and draws a clear line from the uprising in Baltimore to the broader defects of the U.S. economic, social and justice systems – as the protest chant goes, “The whole damn system is guilty as hell!” We wrap up with some inspiring pics and video from our visit to Baltimore this past weekend, and recommend who to follow to get minute-by-minute updates on the ground.
