Mission Statement
Virginia Community Rights Network (VACRN) guides, supports, and encourages local efforts to recognize and legally secure the Rights of Nature and Communities to a healthy environment through self-government at the city, county, and state level. VACRN is dedicated to challenging the injustice of ‘illegitimate’ corporate rights that impede local and direct democracy, through educational training, workshops, campaign strategy development, and public outreach.
