information.
The Biotech Industrial Organization is conducting its annual conference in downtown San Diego from June 17-20.
The biotechnology industry brings up many issues in our community and the international community.
While they spend millions in public relations to convince the world they will put an end to hunger and cure all illness,
they are developing genetically modified products that will demolish any hope left for communities to become self-sustaining.
The GM food safety debate has been going on for over a decade in America and it has been unlabeled in our diets the whole time. This unnatural modification of our food is a major threat, but the bio industry is also profiting from war through development of bio weapons, claiming human hormones as
intellectual property, devastating ecosystems with gm animals, creating a situation where organism resistance to gm pharmaceutics and gm pesticides could evolve organisms that our natural immune systems and organic plants can not battle, and distorting nature to fulfill human needs instead of working with the environment in tranquility.
Every year, in every city the BIO holds its conference they are met with opposition in the streets. This year they have chosen San Diego to escape the massive protests that follow them. The activist community here may not be as strong as in other large urban communities, but if we can build a decentralized coalition between the many political, student and community groups in San Diego county we can let the BIO know that
their manipulation of life and its negative effect on the safety and health of the people and environment is just as unwelcome here as it is anywhere else.
If you, your group or any of its members would like to learn more, partake in or help organize resistance to the BIO 2008 conference there will be a screening and discussion tonight (Tuesday) of the film "The Future of Food" at 4246 Wightman Street in the City Heights Free Skool community space. Followed by weekly planning meetings and other film outreach nights. A flyer with upcoming dates can be found here:
