SUMMARY:A Cautionary Tale: The Dark Side of Housing in the Wild\,  Wild West of California
DESCRIPTION:(Zoom event) \nA Talk By Harvey Smith \nThe first part of this Zoom event will include the slideshow presented at the International Social Housing Festival in early June in Dublin\, Ireland. It will summarize New Deal efforts to provide decent and affordable public housing and dispel the false binary of YIMBY vs. NIMBY.\nThe story of the destruction by University of California at Berkeley of People’s Park will be presented as an example of the collusion of interests between UC\, legislators\, and real estate developers/investors. Local communities have little say in California housing decisions while observing the growing power of real estate investors to sway politicians. Mostly market rate housing is being built with minimal concern for affordability and the rising homelessness rate. Finally\, the rational solutions and examples of social\, public and cooperative housing as revealed at the Dublin conference will be described. \nHere is a link to my book – http://www.arcadiapublishing.com/9781467132398/Berkeley-and-the-New-Deal. Follow the National New Deal Preservation Association and the Living New Deal by signing up to receive occasional updates. Join LND’s Email List.

SUMMARY:ICE Out of Federal Workplaces / All Workplaces
DESCRIPTION:(Action) \n(Info from Federal Unionists Network) \nFederal unionists in the Bay Area invite the public to join us to demand public oversight of ICE\, an end to ICE raids in all workplaces and dignity for all in federal buildings!\nICE is targeting the most vulnerable members of our society at their own workplaces and at ours. As federal workers witnessing these abuses\, we’ve been asked to look the other way. But\, we will not. \nFederal Workers Take a Stand\nThe Trump administration is weaponizing federal law enforcement against immigrants\, union leaders\, and communities—turning public buildings into detention centers and workplaces into sites of fear.\nWe didn’t take an oath to enforce fear. We took an oath to serve the public.\nThat’s why federal workers across the country are rising up—to defend our communities\, our coworkers\, and the Constitution. \nWHAT WE DEMAND\nICE Out of Our Workplaces—And All Workplaces\n*Our workplaces are not jails. No one should be arrested while seeking services or doing their job.\n*Keep Public Buildings Safe for All\nPublic spaces should be welcoming—not weaponized against the very people they are meant to serve.\n*Protect the Right to Speak Out\nDrop all charges against union leader David Huerta and put back to work all EPA workers who were targeted for exercising their First Amendment rights.\n*End ICE Raids and Military Force in Civilian Communities\nWe reject the use of federal power to terrorize immigrant families and communities of color.\n*Justice in Our Courts\nStop the fast-tracked deportations that deny due process. End the inhumane detention of immigrants navigating the legal immigration system. \nWHO WE ARE \nWe are the Federal Unionists Network (FUN)—a growing movement of federal workers organizing to protect democracy\, uphold human rights\, and ensure the civil service works in the public interest. We serve the people\, not political agendas.\nWe know our oath.\nNow we’re taking a stand. \nJOIN US. STAND WITH US\nFederalUnionists.net\nTogether\, we can build a government that works for all—and stands with all. \n#ICEOut #FUNonTheMove #WorkersDefendingWorkers

DESCRIPTION:At: San Francisco State University Library room 121 \nOn the 57th anniversary of the San Francisco State Black Student Union initiated strike that set up the first ethnic program in the United States\, the fascist Trump government has launched a campaign to eliminate these programs and faculty using federal funding.

This event is co-sponsored by the CFA San Francisco State & WorkWeek. \nSpeakers:\nClarence Thomas\, SF State Striker\, BSU and ILWU Local 10 Former Secretary Treasurer\nDr. Ray Tomkins\, Former SF State BSU chair & scientist defending the residents & workers of Hunters Point & Treasure Island.\nDaniel Gonzalez\, SF State Striker\, Third World Liberation Front & retired SF State faculty member Ethnic Studies\nJimmy Garrett\, SF State Striker\, SF State BSU Chair before the strike\nRabab Abdulhadi\, SF State director of the AMED program at SF State Ethnic Studies Department\nBrad Erickson\, CFA SFSU President

SUMMARY:Berkeley Radical 60s Walk by Harvey Smith
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.
