Nov. 13 Major Bio-Convergence Summit

[Guest guest]

Monday, November 13

 

" Bio-Convergence " summit

7 PM - 9 PM, Western States' offices

1204 Preservation Park Way, Oakland (BART accessible from 14th St. station)

(925) 443-7148 for details

 

We are calling on all concerned groups and elected officials to send

representatives to this important summit.

 

The goal: To engage Bay Area and other No. Calif. groups, community leaders

and elected officials in building a regional network to prevent the

proliferation of dangerous bio-warfare agent research facilities in the Bay

Area and Central Valley. Further, we aim to reorient the Bush

Administration's present biodefense policy, moving it away from exotic

bio-weapon agent research and toward strengthening the international

Biological Weapons Convention and improving our public health

infrastructure.

 

The summit will open with a short educational panel and then move into a

facilitated discussion of strategies and tactics. Come prepared to consider

how this issue best fits into your group's mission and activities.

 

If you know of any peace, environmental, faith-based, gmo, health, animal

rights, civic or other groups or elected officials that should be included

in the summit, please call them - or send us their email address and we

will invite them.

 

This event is being organized by Tri-Valley CAREs and is co-sponsored by

Western States Legal Foundation (which is providing the meeting space) and

the San Francisco Bay Area Physicians for Social Responsibility. And, if

your organization would like to co-sponsor the " bio-convergence, " call us

for details at (925) 443-7148.
