This month’s biggest excitement for me is that I get to announce that we have finally launched our comprehensive database of Community Rights ordinances (i.e. municipal and county laws) that have been enacted since our movement began in 1999!
Hundreds of hours of research time have gone into this monumental task – achieved entirely by two of our Community Rights US heroes – Eva Hamilton and Orenda Maitri.
You will finally be able to view more than 60 communities’ ordinances from our new Ordinances Home Page – in three different formats – chronologically, state by state, or via a detailed US map.
We’re still working hard to compile many more of these local ordinances, and YOU can help if you have additional information about these or others that we may have missed. This is still very much a work in progress.
More than 200 communities and counties in thirteen states have now passed these locally-enforceable challenges to unjust state and federal laws, banning a wide variety of harmful corporate and governmental activities.
View the full list of ordinance topics HERE .
Over the next few months, we will be adding additional ordinance lists including:
- Ordinances that passed but were later removed or defeated
- Ordinances that failed
- Currently active ordinance campaigns
So keep an active eye on our new Ordinances Home Page for regular updates.
