sous les pavés, la plage!
Philadelphia’s Under the Pavement Collective will strengthen this mobilization’s perspective of critiquing biotechnology in the context of our resistance to all forms of domination. Monday, June 20th will include a full day of skill-shares for sustainable, post-capitalist urban living.
Animal Rights Conference June 18th
On Saturday, June 18th, HUGS FOR PUPPIES will host an anti-vivisection conference in response to BIO 2005.
