The idea of camping in Washington this September and demanding fundamental change came from a variety of grassroots sources, including a discussion on a listserve run by United for Peace and Justice. Camp Democracy aims to bring together peace and justice movements to find strength in numbers and cross-fertilization. Those attending the camp will learn about a variety of issues and acquire skills in communications, organizing, nonviolence, and lobbying.
Tents will provide activist activities, trainings, workshops, and entertainment on these themes: End War: Peace, nonviolence, accountability, and impeachment | Human Rights: Civil Rights, Immigrants Rights, Workers Rights, Women's Rights, Voting Rights, Katrina | End Corporate Welfare, Meet Human Needs: Healthcare/ Energy/ Education/ Environment | Communications and Creativity: Hands-on Media and Arts Training.
