From June 6 - 9, the BIO 2004 Annual Convention took place in San Francisco. Billed as “the largest gathering of biotechnology leaders in the world,” BIO 2004 invited industry insiders to San Francisco to “shape the future of biotechnology.”
Early on in 2004, the Green Bloc of Sonoma County, California called for a large grassroots mobilization to disrupt the Biotechnology Industry Organization's Annual Convention. The mobilization that emerged became known as Reclaim The Commons.
This 25 minute compilation has been produced for the Critical Mass Radio Network, Reclaim The Commons, Free Radio Santa Cruz, and the Indymedia tactic.
Thank you for listening to the 2004 reflection edition of Indynewswire. The compilation you just heard about the Reclaim the Commons mobilization features the voices of Meddle, Starhawk, Christopher Peace and Luke Anderson. It also features the music of Against Me!, Seize The Day, Ryan Harvey (mp3s) and La Paz.
