Paul Cienfuegos teaches that corporate rights are at the core of almost every environmental and social justice problem that we face. Corporate power grew immensely toward the end of the 19th century with the dismantling of legal restraints and the redefinition of corporations as “persons.” As citizens, can we take back our power from these fictitious corporate “persons?” Cienfuegos says, “Yes!” And he tells of communities doing just that with the help of organizations such as Program on Corporations, Law and Democracy, and The Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund. (Last year CELDF helped draft a Rights of Nature into Ecuador’s constitution!)
