DESCRIPTION:The Fight Against Monsanto’s Roundup: The Politics of Pesticides\n\nBook 
 reading by Mitchel Cohen\nLast year, Bay Area former Benicia Unified School 
 District groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson won a settlement for his cancer he 
 got as a result of the use of Round Up owned by Monsanto, who was bought by 
 Bayer. This herbicide glyphosate has caused cancer in not just workers but 
 members of our community.\n\nIn the trial, evidence was discovered that 
 Monsanto had conspired to keep medical information secret that showed this 
 was a dangerous substance, and Johnson’s likely death will be the result 
 of their negligence for more profits. Cohen looks at the politics behind 
 the pesticide chemical industry, and why it is not being held 
 accountable.\n\nThe San Francisco Labor Council this year also passed a 
 resolution calling on the California Attorney General to remove “Round 
 Up” from the shelves in California.\n\nRobert Howard will also join the 
 book event. He was juror number #4 on the Benecia Unified School District 
 groundskeeper Dewayne “Lee” Johnson trial.\n\nSee
