SUMMARY:Berkeley Radical 60s Walk
DESCRIPTION:10:00 AM Meet at St. Joseph the Worker Church – 1640 Addison Street\, west of McGee Avenue\, Berkeley \nWalk with Harvey Smith\nThe McGee-Spaulding District could be considered a hotbed of Berkeley 1960s radicalism and counterculture given the number of noted activists and alternative living communities located in the neighborhood.

We will briefly explore the political and social roots of these causes\, the intervening backlash\, and the lasting influence of the counterculture movements of the ‘60s. \nThe route is entirely level and wheelchair accessible.

SUMMARY:Labor History Bike Tour
DESCRIPTION:Tour starts at 518 Valencia St. near 16th St. (about 4 hours of tour)\nTour ends at Spear and Market.\nLabor History Bike Tour by Chris Carlsson \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. SF’s radical working-class organizations are shaped in part by racist complicity in genocide and slavery\, but from the 1870s to the 1940s there are dozens of epic battles between owners and workers\, culminating in the 1934 General Strike and its aftermath. This is an entirely different look\, during a four hour bike tour\, at San Francisco labor history.\nShaping San Francisco is asking for a donation of $25~$50.\n(Donation to Shaping San Francisco) (Limited capacity\, RSVP required. Please contact: shaping@foundsf.org\nFor more information: (415) 608-9035.\nRSVP required: shaping@foundsf.org

SUMMARY:Bloody Thursday Walk
DESCRIPTION:Meet at Harry Bridges Plaza south side Tower – Embarcadero at Market St.\, SF \nWalk with Gifford Hartman (about 2 hours)\nNinety years ago (1934)\, 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.
