Today we continue our conversation with Paul Cienfuegos, Portland organizer working with the Community Rights Movement, started by Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF.org). Paul talks about how communities have grown tired of having their local decision making removed so that corporate projects, which they oppose and don't want, can proceed. Paul discusses the regulatory boxes created by industry to undermine our local decision making. Notes that the environment is currently viewed as property and advocates for giving nature rights.
