<blockquote type="cite" cite>With Mayor Newsom trying to give away the
city's wi-fi space to a corporate consortium, efforts by Bechtel and
other private contractors to take over our public water system, the
ongoing scandal of PG&E selling us our own "public"
power and their current efforts to take over alternative power,
incessant pressure to privatize the public schools, a national culture
that blindly accepts corporate interests as preferable to public
interests, we'll talk about how the San Francisco Bay Area can begin a
concerted push back. Ted Nace ("The Rise of Corporate Power and
the Disabling of Democracy"), Aliza Wasserman, Jessica Bell, Matt
Leonard... just added: David Cobb and Shannon Tracey from Democracy
Unlimited of Humboldt County will be talking about their successful
measure T in 2006 to eliminate corporations from local politics...<br>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>Our food system is being refashioned by
new urban farmers, farmers markets and community-supported
agriculture, and importantly, by savvy shoppers who demand local,
organic and safe food. Still, food security is tenuous for too many of
our neighbors. Amy Franceschini (Victory Gardens, past and present),
Willow Rosenthal (City Slicker Farms), Jason Mark (Alemany Farm, and
editor of<i> Earth Island Journal</i>).<br>
