Tree-mendous thanks to all who united from June 18th to 21st, 2005, when hundreds of people gathered for "BioDemocracy" in Philadelphia, to oppose the June 19-22, 2005 annual corporate mega-convention of the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), and to demonstrate resistance to their agenda of genetically engineered trees and agriculture, healthcare for profit and bioweapons proliferation! With your help, we were able to raise our voices and educate thousands about the hazards of corporate biotech and our different vision of sustainable alternatives -- local food sovereignty, community power, justice for small farmers, fair trade, healthcare for all, biodiversity and honest science. Please visit the Philadelphia Independent Media Center for full coverage of BioDemocracy events and actions, including photos of actions, interviews, audio recordings of teach-in sessions, and updates about the legal situation of arrested protesters.
