<td style="font-family:Georgia,Times,serif;padding:15px"><p>Dear Michel,</p>
<p><img src="http://salsa4.salsalabs.com/o/50887/images/corporate_globe.jpg" alt="corporate globe" width="170" height="122" vspace="3" hspace="3" border="1" align="right">In recent decades, and particularly after the Supreme Court ruling on Citizens United, corporations have gained more rights that often trump the common good. The experience of Maryknoll missioners and many people right here at home highlight the everyday struggles of people to feed their families, to have access to clean water and farmland, or to earn fair wages. Meanwhile corporations are increasing their privileges and decreasing their accountability to the broader community.</p>

<p><b>The Faith Economy Ecology Transformation Working Group is hosting a four-part webinar series</b> <b>on corporate power this fall </b>with faith leaders, experts in the field, and advocates for change. The series will explore how the role of corporations in society has changed over time, what positive alternative forms of corporations exist, and how people of faith can play an active role in confronting corporate power on a local, national, and international scale. <a href="http://salsa4.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=C5CYYSoZEXUupwADRyfHxl7pLcgQddYD" target="_blank"></b><b>Sign up here!</a></p>
