In an Arthurian legend, The Green Knight and Sir Gawain square off in a mortal challenge of tit for tat. Nature (the Green Knight) survives being beheaded (assaulted), and then Sir Gawain must place his own neck on the block and take the same remedy. However, Gawain is provided an out; if he can discover within a year what it is that women (life) most wants, his head will be spared.

The answer is that every living thing (woman) wants its own sovereignty. Gawain uncovers this truth just prior to his anticipated death and thus secures his freedom from demise.

Come along on a FREE walking tour surveying San Francisco social movement history, including animal rights, and learn what sovereignty looks like. Well, actually, there's no need to wait, I'll tell you, though you quite like would enjoy the elaborated telling should you come on the walk. Sovereignty is an equal right to use of habitat that can only be voluntarily surrendered, not coercively or fraudulently taken. That's what women want, what the Black Panthers wanted, what the Ohlone wanted, what the SFSU students of 1968 wanted, what the Occupy Wall Street foreclosurees wanted, and, as you'll hear should you join this free weekly tour, what every other party to a social movement wants.

Oh yes, nearly forgot. This walk being inspired by the Henry George School, you'll also hear the case for raising wages systemically by the good riddance of the fraud that some, not all people inherit the Earth. Access to habitat = ability to get a livelihood.
