8:00 PM-  KEYNOTE:  Judi Bari of Earth First! Judi Bari has spearheaded the
effort to redefine environmentalism as a people's movement for fundamental
cultural change.  She has helped to change Earth First! from a few macho men
who want to smash machines to a movement of women and men working to end the
dominance of corporations and restore some sort of balance and sanity to our
lives.  Her organizing has been so effective that a bomb was placed in her
car in retaliation for her defense of abortion rights, workers' rights, and
the rights of wild creatures to live undisturbed by humans.  She will be
speaking about ecofeminism and the feminization of Earth First!
Brought to you in conjunction with Women's Herstory Celebration.
Jordan Hall, room 041
