Although both Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties have won a temporary reprieve from the spraying, until the CDFA completes the EIR (estimated to be in Jan. 2009), efforts to stop the spraying permanently continue. Unfortunately, the Bay Area is still subject to being sprayed on or after the Aug. 17 date. Whether or not you can attend this event, please activate your email lists and let others, especially those in Monterey, know about it. Thanks!
D R A W T H E L I N E ! S T O P T H E S P R A Y I N M O N T E R E Y B E N E F I T C O N C E R T & S I L E N T A U C T I O N May 25, 2008 Golden State Theatre, Monterey (417 Alvarado St.) Raising awareness of the State's pesticide applications over urban populations. Featured artists include Rushad Eggleston Grammy Nominee for Fiddler's 4 CD in 2003 Superior Olive "The hottest band in Santa Cruz" Red Beans and Rice Voted "Best local band on the Monterey Peninsula in 2008" Alisa Fineman & Kimball Hurd "The best of the next generation of singer-songwriters" Nico Georis Longtime local favorite pianist Rhythm & Rouge The Magic Man Speakers: Bill Monning Monterey Pesticide Coalition Co-Founder and Attorney Tony Madrigal Santa Cruz City Council MC Chicago Steve Barkley Veteran comedy headliner The reason behind for the benefit... The California Dept of Food & Agriculture aerially sprayed pesticides over Monterey and Santa Cruz counties in the fall 07. Over 640 people reported adverse health effects from it. The CDFA currently plans to resume aerial spraying of a new chemical concoction every 30-90 days, 9 out of 12 months, for the next 2-10 years. Aerial applications may begin as soon as August 17, 2008 in Monterey & Santa Cruz counties and expand north affecting 7 more counties and more than 3 million Californians. Concerned citizens are pushing for safer alternatives and for rigorous studies of short- and long-term health impacts before spraying. The pesticide treatments have been unsafe, ineffective and unneeded. Show your support. Buy tickets. Attend this great concert on May 25th. For tickets, go to http://www.goldenstatetheatre.com.
