5. Saturday, 6:00pm – 8:00pm, Film Showing: The Seed of the Sacred Fig, directed by Mohammad Rasoulof
Revolution Books
2444 Durant Avenue
Berkeley
The Seed of the Sacred Fig was filmed secretly in Iran. A lawyer named Iman, a staunch believer in the oppressive and patriarchal Islamic Republic, has just gotten a promotion which gives him authority over defendants’ life and death. But he must rubber stamp judgments without looking at the evidence. As he confronts his new role, Iran’s streets are filled with the Women Life Freedom movement. His own daughters are riveted on the protests – what to believe? The official government lies, or the reality they see out their window?
Mohammed Rasoulof is an influential Iranian filmmaker known for his thought-provoking and politically charged cinema. He has faced constant threats and persecution from the Iranian government.
In 2024, The Seed of the Sacred Fig was nominated at the Cannes Film Festival for the Palm D’Or. Days before the screening of the film, the Islamic Republic of Iran sentenced him to 8 years in prison, whipping, and a fine because of his films and political activism. Rasoulof fled on foot to Germany where he now lives in exile.
Our screening is dedicated to the people of Iran, as they face the onslaught of war by the US and Israel and at the same time have been living under and struggling against the repressive Islamic Republic.

All are welcomed to join Alex’s parents Refugio and Elvira Nieto on the 21st of each month as they remember Alex. It’s been 12 years since Alex was killed.
On March 21, 2014, Alex was murdered by SFPD officers Jason Sawyer, Richard Schiff, Nathan Chew, and Roger Morse, with 59 bullets.DA Gacon (at the time) declined to file criminal charges against the officers. .
When Chesa Boudin was SF DA (short term) He had is staff to do an investigation in Alex’s and other victims of police brutality cases. When Brooke Jenkins became the DA she dropped the investigations and either re-assigned or let the staff working on cases go.
There is still no justice for SFPD’s execution of Alex nor of any other victims of SFPD’s executions.

Monday, June 22 – 26, Haiti TPS Week of Action June 22nd-26th
Did you know the Supreme Court Is Deciding the Fate of 350,000 Haitians currently living in the US under Temporary Protected Status?
What is TPS? TPS allows foreign nationals from designated countries to live and work in the United States temporarily due to unsafe conditions in their home countries, such as ongoing armed conflict or an environmental disaster that would prevent them from returning home safely.
Now, Trump – with openly racist animosity towards Haitians – wants to end TPS for Haiti and 16 other countries. It was to have ended on February 3rd, but has been in the courts on appeal and is now before the Supreme Court which is expected to rule by the beginning of July.
At the same time, on April 16th the House passed HR 1689 which would extend TPS for Haitians for three years. The bill is now in the Senate.
What You Can Do:
· Join Haiti Action Committee in bannering “TPS 4 Haitian & All Refugees: NO RACIST DEPORTATIONS.” Week of Action June 22nd-26th. Post photos of your banners to social media and send them to us at action.haiti@gmail.com
· Call your Senators to urge them to vote yes on H.R. 1689’s accompanying Senate bill.
· Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121
· After the Supreme Court ruling, demonstrate (or celebrate) at 4:30pm day of [if the decision is announced before noon PDT] or day after [if announced later] at the SF Federal Building, 7th & Mission, San Francisco
· “Haiti and the Crisis in the Caribbean!” Join us for an educational evening affirming solidarity with Haiti and all peoples confronted by US empire’s cruelty, greed and deadly aggression. Featuring speakers on Haiti, Cuba and Puerto Rico. Thursday, July 16th, 7pm at 518 Valencia in SF. Donation $10-20, no one turned away.

CALL TO ACTION
Bayview-Hunters Point Community Calls for Mass Mobilization at San Francisco Hall Over Radioactive Contamination, Environmental Racism, and the Future Hunters Point
Issued by the Marie Harrison Community Foundation and Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice
San Francisco stands at a moral crossroads.
For decades, the people of Bayview-Hunters Point have lived in the shadow of one of the most contaminated former military sites in the United States: the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard Superfund Site. Generations of residents have been forced to live, work, raise children, and struggle for survival amid radioactive and toxic contamination associated with the Shipyard, industrial facilities, diesel corridors, hazardous waste sites, and cumulative environmental exposure.
These dangers are not confined to the past.
Recent discoveries of additional radiological materials at Hunters Point, combined with longstanding concerns about cleanup fraud, delayed disclosures, unresolved contamination, and aggressive redevelopment pressure, have intensified community demands for truth, accountability, and justice. For Bayview-Hunters Point residents, this crisis is not about one isolated incident. It is about the cumulative burden of decades of exposure to environmental hazards, documented disparities in asthma and respiratory illness, adverse birth outcomes, economic hardship, and the repeated devaluing of Black, Brown, low-income, and working-class lives in District 10.
The Marie Harrison Community Foundation and Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice are calling on concerned residents, public health advocates, scientists, labor leaders, students, faith communities, environmental organizations, civil rights groups, and community allies across San Francisco and beyond to stand with Bayview-Hunters Point in a united public demonstration for environmental justice.
DEMANDS
1. Health Reparations for Impacted Residents
Residents who have lived, worked, gone to school, and raised families in the shadow of contamination deserve recognition, resources, and meaningful remedies for the health, emotional, and economic harms inflicted over generations. Justice requires more than acknowledgment. It requires repair.
2. Independent, Community-Supervised Retesting of the Entire Shipyard and Impacted Areas
The Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and adjacent impacted areas must undergo comprehensive retesting under full community supervision. This process must include independent technical review, split-sample testing, transparent public reporting, and unrestricted oversight by trusted community representatives.
3. Public Funding for Independent Community Experts With Full Site Access
The City, State, and federal government must provide funding so community organizations can hire independent technical experts of their own choosing. Those experts must be granted full and unrestricted access to the Superfund site, the right to review records, the ability to obtain split samples, and the authority to collect independent samples. The community must not be forced to rely solely on agencies or contractors whose credibility has already been called into question.
4. Cleanup to the Highest Protective Standards for Residential Safety
The community demands cleanup standards that truly protect present and future generations, including removal of contamination wherever technically feasible. Simply capping contaminated areas, especially near the shoreline, is unacceptable given serious concerns about sea-level rise, groundwater intrusion, erosion, and climate-related risks.
5. No Transfer or Development of Contaminated Land
The City and County of San Francisco must reject the transfer, approval, or development of any parcel from the Shipyard unless it can be independently verified as safe and free from contamination that could threaten public health. Hazardous materials that cannot be safely treated onsite must be removed and disposed of at properly permitted facilities.
6. Long-Term Health Monitoring and Community Investment
The people of Bayview-Hunters Point deserve comprehensive long-term health monitoring, expanded healthcare access, environmental health research, pollution prevention investments, workforce development, and permanent community-led oversight mechanisms to ensure that future generations are never again placed in harm’s way.
This is not a call against development.
This is a call for truth.
This is a call for science.
This is a call for transparency.
And above all, this is a call for environmental justice.

9. Thursday, 7:00pm – 8:30pm, Community Meeting to Keep Coal Out of the East Bay
La Pena Cultural Center
3105 Shattuck Ave
Berkeley
The East Bay is rising up to stop a proposed coal terminal that would blanket our communities in toxic dust. Come learn how you can fight coal at this community meeting. We’ll catch you up on our decade-long campaign opposing a proposed coal terminal in West Oakland. We’ll share updates on the campaign, and brainstorm ways to take action in small groups. The coal terminal would bring mile-long coal trains along the East Bay shoreline, from Martinez to Oakland, sending toxic coal dust through our communities. This coal terminal is everyone’s problem–and it’ll take all of us to stop it. Learn more about the campaign at nocoal.org.
