Jim
Hightower, national radio commentator and author of the book,
Swim
Against The Current: Even A Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow, will
be speaking at the Forum. Mr. Hightower has spent three decades battling
the Powers That Be on behalf of the Powers That Ought To Be. Twice elected
Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Jim has become a leading voice for those
who no longer find themselves within shouting distance of Washington and
Wall Street. He's a modern-day Johnny Appleseed, spreading the message
of progressive populism all across the American grassroots. www.jimhightower.com

Presentations from Reclaiming Our Healthy Future (26th National Pesticide Forum in Berkeley, CA) and Changing Course in a Changing Climate (25th National Pesticide Forum in Chicago, IL) are available on the Beyond Pesticides website.
