Justice Rising
Grassroots Solutions to
Corporate Power
The Fall
2016
issue of Justice Rising is a
great study guide for local groups to use to learn
about the need for hand-counted paper ballots, as
well as other ways our election system and our
democracy must be strengthened and protected.
 You can use this issue, and the
articles below, for local organizing and outreach
on a variety of election issues.
We also urge you to join with our People's
Vote Must Count campaign,
and build a local coalition of voters and
issue-oriented groups to work for hand-counted
paper ballots.
Below are links to downloadable, printable 1-page
.pdfs of each article in the issue. Print out what
you need for outreach, or contact the Alliance
office via email
or phone at 978-333-7971 to learn how you can get
printed copies of the full 20-page issue.
Justice Rising is the Alliance for
Democracy's thematic publication. Each edition
looks at a single timely problem through the
perspective of grassroots resistance to corporate
rule. Past issues have focused on trade, health
care, money in politics, and other timely topics.
