DownSouth Resistance Against Genetic Engineering (RAGE)

Hi there. Are you interested in subscribing to a new listserve for folks interested in networking in the southeast around genetic engineering and biotech? RAGE is a direct action-focused network around the country. for links to other RAGE groups check out the BAN web site: http://www.tao.ca/~ban/regional.htm

Right now we are organizing as RAGE in Asheville, and other local groups in the region are welcome to start up and start communicating through this new list. Individuals who are interested in the issue but are involved with other groups are welcome too.

to join southrage, write an email to southrage@yahoo.com and let us know where you are and if you are working with a group. you can also subscribe directly at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/southrage

Our first Asheville meeting will be Thursday March 29. All are welcome. organic potluck starts at 6pm, meeting starts at 7pm. It's at 19 Albemarle Road (off Baird, off charlotte - 2 blks north of city bakery). for more info, call 828-296-1335.

A RAGE meeting took place at the regional Earth First! gathering in east Tennessee. Plans for a SPRING ACTION are underway. Get in touch if it sounds interesting! Southrage folks will be at the Y-12 protest in Knoxville (April 8) if you want to talk in person, as well as the Atlanta FTAA solidarity action on April 21.

We're also looking to travel around the region and speak with activists, students, farmers, etc..to mobilize for the spring action, and to get this issue out in the public eye in the southeast. Please get in touch if you can help bring us to your town.

Please forward this notice to regional activist lists and anybody you think may be interested.

Long live the seed!!
