Summary
In 2019, CELDF helped residents of Newmarket, New Hampshire write a draft Newmarket Resolution Supporting the Right to Local Community Self-Government, which would have recognized residents’ right to local self-government and to recognize rights of nature. The residents presented the resolution to the town council, but the council wanted to make revisions that the residents didn’t agree with. The council refused to adopt the ordinance.
