On Thursday  September 20 at 7 PM at Faneuil Hall there will be a hearing on the  State Court's mandated restudy by NIH of the Biocontainment Lab 4 in  Boston.
 
Our lawyers feel it is VERY IMPORTANT  to fill this  hall  with people who object to this biolab being built in the South End.  You may testify if you wish so be there early-but  it is not necessary to  testify. JUST BE THERE. 
 
IN THE PAST BU HAS PACKED THE HALLS  WITH THEIR PEOPLE SO COME EARLY, AS EARLY AS 6:30 PM

The NIH report  is over 300 pages long but we  hope to send out a summary and analysis.   Look for it.   There will definitely be a flyer with talking  points at the door.   

One point we can all raise at the  hearing is that  while NIH's siting criteria for BSL4 labs include the  absence of substantial community opposition, they have been ignoring the  community response to this lab for almost five years.   Senators  Clinton and Schumer in New York have just announced their opposition to siting a  BSL4 lab on Plum Island in Long Island Sound.  Their reason:  it's too  close to New York City!  It's time our Senators defended our right to be  safe and secure in our community.  It's time for NIH to acknowledge and  respond to our opposition.
