The BIO 2001 industry conference representatives do not want to debate the scientists that will be here for Biojustice 2001! What are they afraid of? They know the opposition is STRONG and that the facts are VALID. They've said at this point a debate with us is a "waste of time". Obviously, they' rather deal with government officials and lobbysist to get their work done and not talk to the concerned citizens of San Diego who want a face to face debate. It's time to MOBILIZE.

At Tuesday's general membership meeting, the Green Party of San Diego consensed to endorse the Biojustice 2001 efforts to educate and mobilize the public for the teach-in in June 22 and 23. It was also agreed to organize a contingency that would take part in the main permitted march on Sunday, Jun 24 from Balboa Park to the Convention Ctr.



CALLING ALL GREENS!

Let's gather as large of a crowd as we can gather to attend the rally and march on Sunday, June 24. This is going to be FUN! This is a permitted march with lots of organizations represented. At the end of it we'll break up into affinity groups and do massive community projects which basically involve organic gardening. Come wearing your Green t-shirt or buy one when you get there. Bring signs and your enthusiasm. Ideas for sings comming up soon. Please visit www.sdgreens.org for updates.

So, here's the plan. People don't have to show up early and be part of the daylong events. You can come and go as you wish. The rally with speakers and entertainers STARTS at 10am at the South East corner of Balboa Park. the march STARTS at 12:30pm toward the Convention Ctr.
