We need your support to pay for a venue, rent equipment, and otherwise make this a fun and powerful event -- PLEASE DONATE

This will be one of the first big gatherings of Stop Billionaires Summer in the San Francisco Bay Area. We envision an event that will begin with a rally, where the arriving audience will listen to a series of speakers, interspersed with some musicians and skits. Speakers will include scientists and other academics, who 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.

After the rally, audience 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 tables dispersed around the edge of the space. There will probably be a second and perhaps a third round of teach-ins, with time in between for participants to relocate to be closer to the teach-in table of their choice. Most teach-ins with have brief presentations with plenty of time for Q&A, and hopefully we will have some more hands-on sessions to accommodate different interests and learning styles. The teach-ins will also include some fun activities for young ones, like coloring signs and folding zines.

Contact us if you want to help us organize or if you have suggestions for speakers.

Don't forget to invite your friends to RSVP and join us on July 19th!
