"The book is one way to continue grinding away at the notion of human exceptionalism at the expense of the connectedness of the web; a planetary web of all parts, human and non-human. What happens to one part affects the whole.  Fortunately, scientific discoveries are leading us to a broader lens for understanding the Indigenous saying "All my relatives."  And the authors of these stories, those who advocate on behalf of the Rights of Nature, need the courage and fortitude to continue efforts to change minds.  "Death by Democracy" is a tool for this change that deserves as wide an audience as possible.

     I am just stunned by the difficulties that these individuals have encountered with law-enforcement the judicial system the legislatures both local and state and the corporations and others. The title of the book is absolutely correct! My eyes are opened.

     Congratulations OHCRN and CELDF and all associated with this publication."
