SUMMARY:Labor History Bike Tour
DESCRIPTION:Labor History Bike Tour by Chris Carlsson (Donation to Shaping San Francisco) (Limited capacity\, RSVP required. Please contact: shaping@foundsf.org\nFrom the pre-urban history of Indian Slavery to the earliest 8-hour day movement in the U.S.\, the ebb and flow of class war is traced.

This is an entirely different look\, during a four hour bike tour\, at San Francisco labor history.\nTour starts at 518 Valencia St. near 16th St.\nTour ends at Spear and Market. \nShaping San Francisco is asking donation of $25~$50.\nFor more information: (415) 608-9035.

SUMMARY:1934 San Francisco General Strike – Walk & Presentation by Gifford Hartman
DESCRIPTION:Meet at Harry Bridges Plaza Tower – Embarcadero at Market St.\, SF \nEighty-eight years ago\, a great battle took place between striking workers and the police and National Guard along the waterfront alongside the piers of San Francisco’s Embarcadero. We will look at the causes of the 1934 General Strike\, why it was successful\, and how the issues from that strike are still relevant to working class people today. The current movement against police murder of black and brown people can draw lessons from the way strikers invited black workers into their ranks to prevent racist exclusion from breaking their strike. We explain how an 83-day West Coast Waterfront Strike exploded into the 4-day General Strike that paralyzed all commerce in San Francisco. This tour will visit the sites of those events.

SUMMARY:Overcoming Capitalism:  Strategy for the Working Class in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:A new\, inclusive union movement with a contemporary vision and an eye toward building social and economic power can remake society.\nOvercoming Capitalism is a book about strategy\, particularly how the powerless can get the upper hand. And it’s written for everyone—not a specialized\, self-selected audience. Tom Wetzel carefully explains how capitalism works and how the structure is stacked against us\, with an eye toward where power lies and how we can tip the scales. \nTom Wetzel has written on labor history\, worker struggles\, libertarian socialist ideas\, and housing struggles since the 1970s. He has been published by ZNet and ROAR Magazine and is a former editor of the anarcho-syndicalist magazine ideas & action\, where many of his essays were published. He is based in Hayward\, CA. \nJames Tracy is a Bay Area-based author\, organizer\, and teacher. He is the co-author of Hillbilly Nationalists\, Urban Race Rebels and Black Power; No Fascist USA! The John Brown Anti-Klan Committee and Lessons for Today’s Movements; and the author of Dispatches Against Displacement: Field Notes From San Francisco’s Housing Wars. \nLeslie Leyba is a co-op member of the worker-owned Rainbow Grocery.
