Planning is underway for a unique series of Biodevastation/Biojustice events this spring:
This is the 7th in this series of international grassroots gatherings. Biodevastation 7 will take place in St. Louis, where the series first began in July of 1998, and will immediately precede the Monsanto-sponsored World Agricultural Forum. The local sponsors, the Gateway Green Alliance have subtitled this event “A Forum on Environmental Racism, World Agriculture and Biowarfare,” and see it as a definitive event linking genetic engineering to discrimination against communities of color. Featured speakers will include include Vandana Shiva, Mae-Wan Ho, Mwananyanda Mbikusita Lewanika (from Zambia) and Percy Schmeiser. Contact mrallen@mprsnd.org or call 314-353-8176.

Organization and the recent U.S. led WTO challenge to the European
Union’s GMO policy, press events and congressional briefings will be
held in DC. Contact larcher@foe.org.
