Sunday, Dec. 8, 10AM - 6PM City College of San Francisco, Mission Campus 1125 Valencia Street Suggested donation: $5 (no one turned away for lack of funds) The campus is a short walk from 24th Street BART Station and Muni lines 14, 33, 48, 49 and J The theme of this year’s book fair is “Strike! Discovering Our Power.” We selected this theme to celebrate the ways in which everyday people discover their ability to work together. Inspired by the wave of strikes across the United States in the past year, the massive General Strikes in India, and the recent uprisings in Algeria and Sudan, we expand the idea of the strike to include all of the ways people can take collective action to preserve their homes, protect life on earth, respect indigeneity, shut down the machinery that produces racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and inequality, and build movements that are strong enough to last. The Strike! is not only about withdrawing our labor, but about redirecting it to create a better world. Featuring over sixty publishers, booksellers, and grassroots organizations, dozens of author readings, panels, and workshops with Silvia Federici, Jane McAlevey, Emory Douglas, Alice Bag, Bhaskar Sunkara, Nicholas Baham III, Eric Drooker, Shawna Potter, Charlie Jane Anders, and voices from The Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong, The Yellow Vest Movement in France, the Oakland Teachers Strike and more https://howardzinnbookfair.com/ [and a plug for a book I've been involved with] One of the exhibitors is 1741 Press, publisher of the collective memoir "You Say You Want a Revolution: SDS, PL, and Adventures in Building a Worker-Student Alliance".
