The biotech-pharmaceutical industry's largest meeting of lobbyists and
executives will gather in San Francisco for the annual BIO 2004 conference.
They expect 20,000 to attend.  In response, citizens are organizing an
educational, creative, and broad mobilization which links together
people working on biotech, peace, globalization, corporatization,
environment, social & racial justice, free trade, etc.

Here are just a few of the many components:
Vandana Shiva, Via Campesina, Farmer-to-Farmer Campaign on Genetic Engineering,
Ignacio Chapela, Physicians for Social Responsibility; 
"Really, Really Free Market" gift economy: give-away of
plants, food, goods, skills, talent, alternative health care, and information.
