Living Democracy Movement

Living Democracy Movement is a term used by Frances Moore Lappe and Vandana Shiva to refer to the emerging global movement for social transformation. This movement goes by many names. It was originally known by many as the Anti-globalization Movement, a highly misleading term for what is arguably the most global and inclusive movement ever. Early in the new millennium it was commonly referred to as the global Peace and Justice Movement. The term Global Civil Society is commonly used to name the constellation of self organizing networks that comprise the global citizen uprising.

Living Democracy Movement recognizes that Empire still rules, what we have been conditioned by the cultural trance to call democracy is largely an illusion and carrying forward the democracy project is the key to breaking the grip of corporate rule, ending war, and achieving justice.
