DESCRIPTION:We will begin with a rally, featuring a series of speakers, interspersed 
 with some musicians and a skit. Speakers will include scientists, other 
 academics and activists. We will talk about the climate crisis, concerns 
 about the rise of authoritarianism and oligarchy, concerns and consequences 
 of attacks on science and academic freedom, and research on effective 
 nonviolent civil resistance.\n\nAfter the rally, you will have the 
 opportunity to choose among different teach-ins (mostly 20-minute sessions 
 on similar topics, by rally presenters and other academics or movement 
 leaders), held at different stations dispersed around the edge of the 
 space. There will three rounds of teach-ins, with time in between for 
 participants to relocate to be closer to the teach-in station of their 
 choice. Most teach-ins with have brief presentations with plenty of time 
 for Q&A, and we will have some hands-on sessions to accommodate different 
 interests and learning styles. The teach-ins will also include some fun 
 activities for the whole family.\n\nThis will be one of the first big 
 gatherings of Stop Billionaires Summer in the San Francisco Bay Area -
