Ohio Committee on Corporations, Law, and Democracy

Ohio Committee on Corporations, Law, and Democracy

The Ohio Committee on Corporations, Law, and Democracy (or OCCLAD) is an Ohio, US-based activist network started by two people (Greg Coleridge and Mike Ferner) from a national organization called POCLAD. Its focus is on researching and propagating the history of corporate personhood in the state of Ohio. In the pursuit of this objective, OCCLAD has created a number of well-circulated resources: a pamphlet called Citizens Over Corporations: A Brief History of Democracy in Ohio and Challenges to Freedom in the Future, a video/DVD called CorpOrNation: The Story of Citizens and Corporations in Ohio, and a blog called ohiodemocracy.org.
