"From June 23-25th 2003 the Ministers of Trade, Agriculture and Environment from 180 nations, including all member states of the World Trade Organization (WTO), will meet in Sacramento California at a summit hosted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), USAID, and the US State Department. This meeting will be a stepping stone to the September WTO Ministerial in Cancun and the Summit of the Americas scheduled for Miami in November. This meeting will be held the same time as an "Expo On Agricultural Science and Technology" which will be showing off the "benefits" of transnational agribusiness and biotechnology.

Alan Moore writes "The "Green Home" show is opening at the Winter Palace in Staten Island April 27th, 2003, as part of the Staten Island Greens' Eco-Fest for a Sane and Sustainable Future.

The question is, how do we live in this world? How do we understand ourselves in relation to the rest of creation, and how is this relation expressed in works of art? The show will combine the global and the local -- prescriptive conceptual art and work, mostly by regional artists, on the theme of a domestic relation with nature.

"STOP THE WAR ON OUR HEALTH!

Support the HUNGER STRIKERS

MAY 6-13, NEW YORK CITY

Despite their failing health on May 6 a group of injured workers will begin a seven-day hunger strike in front of Governor George Pataki's office here in New York City. Other members of the National Mobilization Against Sweatshops have urged them to take caution due to their personal health situations. However the hunger strikers feel that -- together with other injured workers-hurt on the job or by 9-11 -- they have exhausted all other avenues to compel Pataki to address the health concerns of working people.

"Radfest 2003 Midwest Social Forum

20th Anniversary"




Aurora University George Williams - Lake Geneva Campus

Williams Bay, WI May 30-June 1, 2003

radfest



Dear friend:



I would like to invite you to RadFest 2003, an annual

weekend conference for progressive activists and

academics organized by the A. E. Havens Center for the

Study of Social Structure and Social Change at the

University of Wisconsin-Madison. The central goal of

the conference is to provide an opportunity for

progressive activists, organizers, and intellectuals to

come together to discuss issues of mutual interest and

concern, strengthen networks, and devise strategies for

progressive social, economic, and political change.

RadFest has grown significantly in recent years,

becoming an important annual gathering for

progressives. Last year, for example, approximately 300

people from throughout the upper Midwest and beyond

attended. This year, which will be the 20th anniversary

of the conference, we expect a considerably larger

turnout.
