SUMMARY:14th Annual San Francisco Living Wage Coalition Awards Dinner
DESCRIPTION:At: SEIU Local 1021 hall – 350 Rhode Island\, San Francisco\n(entrance on Kansas Street\, between 16th and 17th Streets)\nStreet parking available\, wheel-chair accessible \nHonorees:\nLabor Woman of the Year award – Kim Evon\, Executive Vice President\, Service Employees International Union Local 1021.  \n \nLabor Man of the Year award – David Williams\, retired member\, Service Employees International Union Local 1021. \n \nThe San Francisco Living Wage Coalition was born out of Labor’s efforts to work with the community in organizing non-union workers. These efforts included using legislative strategies to improve their wages and working conditions\, building a workers’ movement and creating the conditions for unionizing. Our efforts initiated a movement that led to trail-blazing local wage and benefit laws and\, in conjunction with unions\, organizing drives and collective bargaining agreements.  \nThe Living Wage Coalition’s current work are workshops and campaigns to organize workers and educate the community on a Five Point Program to reverse income inequality\, including protecting and expanding union and public sector jobs; ending mass incarceration by the penal system; stopping the repressive immigration system; fixing a broken welfare-to-work system; and replacing free trade with fair trade.  \nTickets – $60 per ticket in advance or a group rate of $400 for eight tickets in advance bought before July 15. $70 per seat at the door. We have special sponsorship levels and congratulations in the printed program if received by July 12.  \n  \nFor more information or to purchase tickets\, contact the San Francisco Living Wage Coalition at 415-863-1225 or sflivingwage@riseup.net or go to https://www.livingwage-sf.org to become a sponsor or buy a ticket.

SUMMARY:American Dreams - by SF Mime Troupe
DESCRIPTION:The American Dream. It used to mean a job\, a house\, a car\, a spouse\, 2.5 kids\, and a .4 dog. But what does it mean now? For Gabriel Pearce\, a Black man tired of liberal failures\, on the day after the presidential election it means victory! Giving up on progressivism wasn’t easy\, but casting his vote for a Conservative who promise to be grateful could mean a dream come true. However\, for his daughter Paine – a teacher at a university caught between protesting students and threats to funding – it’s a nightmare! Or was the lost election just a dream? Or will A.I. catch fire\, like Oliver sees in his nightmares? Do androids dream of electronic voting? Can we create the utopia of justice activist student Emma hopes for\, or is the present just a dream within a dream within a dream. But whether you’re asleep or Woke what some see as nightmares others see as… American Dreams.
