International BIO Convention; A Week in Review

One week later: Personal Reflection on the International BIO Convention protests. 

 

Another World is Popsicle

Seven days after receiving the flyer for the NOFA BIO convention protest; I'm sunburned, tired and little sad, but hopeful. 

 

Free School University put me on the International BIO Convention tip after working with them on the rundown on the arrest of State Rep. Liz Malia and several protesters. The arrests occurred at the City Live/ Vida Urbana Eviction Blockade last week. I had no reservations about hitting up the Common last Saturday to discuss last minute media campaign strategy with Ellen Fine of the LEAH Collective, Eden Gardner of Free School University/ Occupy Boston, a Selectman, and a smattering of folks that weren't at the March Against Austerity.

NOFA, Occupy Monsanto, Occupy Boston, Occupy New Hampshire, and The LEAH Collective gathered at the BCEC yesterday to protest GMO's and pesticides in our food supply.

Protesters picketed, shouted, cursed and sang their way through the morning, as convention goers filed into the BCEC. 

Occupy Monsanto provided a sound system that was quickly rejected by BCEC security and Boston Police.  Organizers from Occupy Monsanto and Ellen Fine of the LEAH collective along with members of Free School University spearheaded handing out information on organic gardening, and contact points for finding out the dangers of GMO's and the fight for GMO labeling.
