BIOJUSTICE Movie Nights

The Biotech Industry Organization is meeting in San Diego, June 17-20, 2008 for their annual convention. Biotech brings up so many issues in our community: health care, sustainability, food, war, gentrification, global inequity. What can we do in response that is creative, tactical and inclusive? How can we quickly mobilize our community and build on the infrastructure and networks that we’ve been building for years? Let’s show BIO that they can’t come to San Diego for safety from the massive protests that have followed them in so many other cities.

Upcoming planning meetings: Sunday, April 27th, 3:00pm, Sat May 3rd , 3pm @ City Heights Free Skool

The Future of Food
@ The City Heights
Free Skool, 7:30pm, Tues, April 22nd, 4246 Wightman St, on the corner of Van Dyke and Wightman in City Heights
There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America — a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the food we eat. THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade. From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology.

Strange Culture
@ Groundwork Books
0323 UCSD New Student Center, 7:30pm, Tues, April 29th
The conflict between policies that support national security and those that protect civil liberties are embodied in the bizarre, terrifying story of Steve Kurtz, an artist, activist and State University of New York at Buffalo professor for whom a personal tragedy led to a Kafkaesque nightmare courtesy of the War on Terror.
