Table Talk

Resisting the Engineering of Life

Monday, June 6, 6pm

with Brian Tokar,
director of the Biotechnology Project at the Vermont-based Institute for Social Ecology

Genetic engineering and other biotechnologies have become the primary means by which global corporations are taking control over our food, healthcare, and the future of life on earth. With a goal of promoting a critical and dynamic grassroots response, Tokar will discuss the politics of GE food, current pharmaceutical scandals, and many other issues that will be featured at the upcoming Biodemocracy teach-in and festival in Philadelphia, June 18-21, to be attended by ten thousand biotech executives.
