From June 3-9, a spectrum of activists and community organizers will converge in San Francisco to protest the biotech industry conference happening there simultaneous to the G-8 meeting in Georgia. But this is more than just a protest: the convergence will aim to engage in substantive discussion of the issues, and to propose constructive alternatives.
