NW Resistance Against Genetic Engineering (NW RAGE) invites you to the 2004 Genetic Engineering Action Network (GEAN) Conference to be held March 12-14 at the University of California at Berkeley. In our view, GE represents the most serious threat to our health, the health of the environment, and the safety of our food supply. Stop corporate takeover of our food! Representatives from NW RAGE will be attending the conference, and you are invited too! We are planning to fly down, but if enough people are interested, we can organize a car pool down to the conference. Call or email NW RAGE for more info. A limited number of scholarships are available from GEAN for folks who want to go but don't have the cash. The 2004 GEAN Conference will include speakers Percy Schmeiser, a Canadian farmer whose Canola fields were contaminated with Monsanto's Round-Up Ready Canola, and is currently being sued by Monsanto for patent infringement; and Jeffrey Smith, the author of the recently published book, Seeds of Deception. The conference will feature workshops from over 30 issue experts and leaders from the movement; a public forum hosted by Californians for GE-Free Agriculture; activist skill-building workshops; information and strategy sessions (including strategies for Biodev 2004), and more.
