FEATURED EVENT OF THE WEEK
Non-violent Civil Disobedience training against the LBAM Trapping & Eradication program in Berkeley.
The California and U.S. Department of Agriculture’s LBAM pesticide program has not been canceled. The aerial spraying is scheduled to continue over whatever undisclosed areas the government considers "non-urban" as early as August 17. Meanwhile ground applications of the same synthetic "pheromone" are to continue in the form of 250 twist ties per acre, goop mixed with permethrin insecticide on 3000 utility poles and trees per square mile, and thousands of toxic sticky traps targeting neighborhoods for expansion of the pesticide program, all designed to saturate our air supply continuously for years to come. The door has also been left wide open for ground spraying of other toxic chemical cocktails. The traps and twist ties have been going up already, and we are told the utility pole applications are to begin in September.
WHEN:
Saturday, July 19th, 2008, 10am-5:30pm
Where:
1924 Cedar Street (at Bonita), in Berkeley (scent-free please)
