DESCRIPTION:The 6th Annual Howard Zinn Book Fair will take place on Sunday, December 8, 
 2019 from 10am to 6pm at the Mission Campus of City College at 1125 Mission 
 Street @ 22nd, San Francisco. The fair draws upon the legacy of legendary 
 historian and activist Howard Zinn by gathering together over 60 
 publishers, booksellers, zinesters and community groups and dozens of 
 author readings, panel discussions and workshops, all to explore the ways 
 people can take collective action to build 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 50 author readings and 
 panel discussions (each 90 minutes long!) on a wide range of issues 
 relating to economic and social justice. Speakers will include Silvia 
 Federici, Jane McAlevey, Alice Bag, Bhaskar Sunkara, Nicholas Baham III, 
 Eric Drooker, Shawna Potter, Charlie Anders, Emory Douglas and voices from 
 The Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong, The Yellow Vest Movement in France, The 
 Oakland Teachers Strike and more.\n\nThe 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, 
 Sudan, Lebanon and Chile, 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.\n\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. We recognize the stories of the ways that everyday 
 people have risen to propose a world beyond empires big and small. The 
 Howard Zinn Book Fair is a non-sectarian left event that welcomes a wide 
 variety of political left traditions 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. 8 from 10-6 for the Sixth 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 and exhibitors and
