DESCRIPTION:If ever there was a time to create our own history rather than let 
 malevolent people write it for us, that time is now! Meet the people and 
 groups helping build a world that serves everyone at the Howard Zinn Book 
 Fair, Sunday, December 6, from 10am to 6pm, at the San Francisco City 
 College Mission Campus, 1125 Valencia Street. This year's theme is A Time 
 of Monsters, A Time to Fight.\n\nThe Howard Zinn Book Fair started in 2014 
 as an annual celebration and this year features 40 panel discussions by 
 authors and activists and a big room full of independent presses, community 
 groups, artists, and non-profits. All of our participants focus on 
 empowering people to become engaged in the struggle for a truly 
 participatory and democratic society.\n\nWe live in a time when many are 
 asked to survive what can only be called monstrous: authoritarianism, war, 
 state violence, environmental destruction, economic insecurity, forced 
 displacement, attacks on civil rights, and the everyday cruelties of 
 systems built to dehumanize. But throughout history, ordinary people have 
 resisted monstrous situations and individuals in order to take more control 
 of their future.\n\nThis year we have dozens of speakers including renowned 
 journalist Dave Zirin, whose new book The People's Historian: The Outsized 
 Life of Howard Zinn is a groundbreaking profile of our book fair's 
 namesake, the radical historian and thought leader Howard Zinn.\n\nOther 
 speakers include Rachel Herzing, Jordan Camp, Rachel West, Delio Vazquez, 
 Aya de Leon, Cole Rockarts, Mark Lispi, Carolyn McConnell, Benjamin Heim 
 Shepard and many, many more.\n\nAuthors, activists and community leaders 
 propose and present examples of novel, radical solutions to many of our 
 current woes including starting a media co-op, refusal of work at our 
 workplaces, bearing witness in Gaza, and empowering women. Issues covered 
 this year also include trans rights, new strategies for organizing labor 
 and immigrants, anti-fascism, ecosocialism, the role of music in changing 
 society, writers and artists as activists, reproductive autonomy, food 
 justice, inspiring ideas from The Black Panthers, democratizing media, how 
 to deal with AI, and much, much more!\n\nPlease join us on Sunday, December 
 6, from 10am to 6pm at the Mission Campus of SF City College at 1125 
 Valencia Street.\n\nThis is a masked event.\n\nPlease don't drive. Our 
 location is close to 24th and Mission BART and many major MUNI lines.
