DESCRIPTION:Training Convergence for Biotech Actions  In June, the biotech industry 
 will be having its largest annual conference  in, guess where?  San 
 Francisco!  Sponsored by Monsanto, among others. What  are they thinking 
 of? you might ask.  They clearly aren¹t thinking that  local activists 
 will create a mobilization that will both make the word  Œbiotech¹ 
 synonymous with fear and loathing, AND pose such attractive and  positive 
 alternatives that revolution will become irresistable.  We want to make 
 this mobilization a model of how to organize, build  coalitions, and do 
 effective, empowering, capacity- building outreach.  Our  plan is to send 
 outreach teams around the Bay Area and throughout the state,  to offer 
 weekend convergences that include biotech basics, training in  direct 
 action, affinity group formation, facilitation and consensus, an  
 introduction to permaculture, and whatever others skills or subjects a  
 community may request.  But we need you to make this happen.  If you have 
 experience in direct  action, OR permaculture, OR facilitation, consensus, 
 media, organizing, etc.  and want to share your skills on an outreach team, 
 either in the Bay Area or  beyond, please come to the training convergence 
 Feb. 15 at St. Boniface  Church in San Francisco to help us cocreate the 
 trainings and the teams.  Skillshare, Training for Trainers and Cocreation 
 of Outreach Teams  Share tools and processes from the 
 trainers¹/facilitators¹ toolbox, design  agendas, and practice presenting 
 material to design an outreach program that  can inspire and empower people 
 for the June actions and other upcoming  direct actions.  Improve your 
 skills at creating effective agendas and  workshops.  Begin forming and 
 scheduling outreach teams.  Sunday Feb. 15  10-5  St. Boniface Church  133 
 Golden Gate  San Francisco, CA  Bring lunch to share  Contact Starhawk 
 stella@mcn.org  415-640-5872 to preregister  (Please let us know that you 
 are planning to come.)    \n
