DESCRIPTION:The fifth annual Howard Zinn Book Fair will be held in San Francisco from 
 10-6 on Sunday, December 2nd, 2018 at the Mission Campus of City College at 
 1125 Valencia Street at 22nd. The fair draws upon the legacy of legendary 
 historian and activist Howard Zinn by gathering together authors, 
 zinesters, bloggers and publishers for a day of readings, panel discussions 
 and workshops exploring the value of dissident histories towards building a 
 better future.\n\nThe HZBF has become an invaluable annual event for left 
 political culture in the San Francisco Bay Area and this year will feature 
 over 40 author readings and panel discussions on a wide range of issues 
 relating to economic and social justice and will include  SARAH JAFFE, 
 ROXANNE DUNBAR-ORTIZ, TONGO EISEN MARTIN, PAUL ORTIZ, CAT BROOKS, LETICIA 
 DEL TORO, MEAGAN DAY, RICHARD WALKER, GEORGE LAKEY and many more. \n\nThe 
 centerpiece of the fair is a bookroom featuring over 60 exhibitors 
 including independent publishers, radical journals, and progressive 
 organizations of all stripes.\n\nThe fair's theme this year, Fighting for 
 the Air We Breathe, considers the effects of human-caused environmental 
 devastation which have become impossible to ignore. The land we live on, 
 the water we drink, and the air we breathe are under threat by relentless 
 fossil fuel extraction and the toxic byproducts of profit driven mass 
 production. The suffocation of our natural world is paralleled in society 
 at large.  Persistent poverty, racism and sexism are exacerbated by 
 countless mass shootings, police violence, escalating wars, and the 
 violence of an emboldened far right. While conventional politics often 
 expect market forces or new technologies to solve the world’s problems, 
 we know the real solutions will come from the collective action of everyday 
 people, through the very struggles chronicled by the late historian Howard 
 Zinn author of A People’s History of the United States. \n\nBuilding on 
 Zinn's legacy, the mission of the HZBF is to showcase authors and 
 organizations which chronicle the often overlooked experiences of oppressed 
 people and their struggle for justice. Since its founding, the HZBF has 
 been held annually as a free, volunteer-run, one-day event in the Mission 
 District of San Francisco, drawing around 2000 attendees each year. \n\nThe 
 HZBF is a unique event that cultivates a welcoming environment where 
 discussion can flow freely; where differences can be articulated, heard, 
 and debated; and where people can connect with each other and talk about 
 creating a better world. \n\nPlease join us on Sunday, Dec. 2 from 10-6 for 
 the Fifth Annual Howard Zinn Book Fair! We request a $5 donation, but no 
 one will be turned away for lack of funds.\n\nFor our program of speakers
