Friends,
A short note from Adam Sacks related to the important grassroots-level work he is doing motivated me to add a new category, “On the Ground” to the blog. It is for items, perhaps brief like this first one, devoted to “News about local grassroots efforts and struggles undertaken with a global perspective”. Here is the note from Adam:

Hi George –
. . .The small town of Barnstead, NH has just this weekend passed an anti-corporate rights and water withdrawal ordinance, standing up to illegitimate state and federal law and precedent. It’s the first town outside of Pennsylvania to do so.
Hope you’re well, maybe see you soon!
Cheers,
Adam
