SUMMARY:2018 Howard Zinn Book Fair FIGHTING FOR THE AIR WE BREATHE
DESCRIPTION:CCSF Mission Campus\, 1125 Valencia Street \nThe Fifth Annual Howard Zinn Book Fair is an annual celebration of people’s history\, past\, present and future. This year features more than 40 readings and more than 60 tables of exhibitors. We gather 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. In the spirit of the late historian Howard Zinn 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. \nThis year’s theme is Fighting for the Air We Breathe and will be the focus of a number of our readings. The effects of human-caused environmental devastation 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 historian Howard Zinn under the banner of “a People’s History.” \nA donation of $5 is requested but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Please join us for one of the highlights of the year for the Bay Area’s political progressives. Take a look at the Howard Zinn Book Fair website for more details.\n\nAnd please tell all your friends! \nClick here for pdf flier to print & share!

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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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. \nThe centerpiece of the fair is a bookroom featuring over 60 exhibitors including independent publishers\, radical journals\, and progressive organizations of all stripes. \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. \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. \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. \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. \nFor our program of speakers and exhibitors and for more info visit our website at:\nhttps://howardzinnbookfair.com/
