1. Sunday, 10:30am \u2013 12:00pm, Julian Assange Birthday Rally #FreeAssangeNOW<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In person<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet at  Harry Bridges Plaza<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Embarcadero at Market St. \u2013 Across from the Ferry Building
SF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please join us to celebrate Julian Assange’s birthday and rally for his freedom! His life- along with our future freedom of Speech and Journalism- depends on it.

Julian Assange is an innocent journalist, jailed and tortured for revealing TRUTH. Global citizens deserve to know of the US\/UK war crimes done in their names and with their tax dollars. Julian remains held on remand, at the behest of the USA, in Belmarsh Prison, London.

If the USA succeeds in his extradition, he will serve 175 years in the worst kind of prison; pursued under the 1917 Espionage Act. This sets a dangerous History- changing precedent for any journalist anywhere in the world and forever threatens Journalism and Freedom of Speech.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can You Do?
If you can\u2019t join us for an event, consider taking a stand to educate others on your own or with friends. We\u2019d love to promote your event on the website & social media to inspire others. Informing others, calling your Representatives & signing petitions are powerful actions.

July 3, 2022 marks 40 years (July 1982) since journalist and Black Panther Political Prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal was sentenced to death in Pennsylvania, framed in the government war on Black Liberation activists. Mumia is still in prison today, now an elder. There is an \u201cAll Out For Mumia\u201d call for 40 cities to unite against 40 years of injustice<\/strong> on<\/strong> Sunday, July 3rd<\/strong>. From Philadelphia to San Francisco to Paris and Berlin, people are organizing to make visible, strong acts of solidarity and education in the movement to free Mumia on July 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mumia is a brilliant writer, journalist, and thinker, known as the \u201cvoice of the voiceless\u201d for his truth-telling, profound political analysis, courageous words, and humanity reaching out from what he calls the bowels of the modern slave ship \u2013 U.S. prisons. Year after year, from prison, Mumia continues to teach, report, and analyze current day events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SF event is being organized by Mumia\u2019s grandson<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Monday, 2:00pm (1:30pm- music), Back To The Way Things WERE \u2013 Mime Troupe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Person<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dolores Park
19th<\/sup>\u00a0St.
SF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a country where we can finally stop wearing masks to get pizza and go to the movies, and where we again have a president who isn\u2019t dumb as a two dollar ham, hard-working, middle-aged liberals Ralph and Alice wistfully yearn for The before Times, when things seemed normal. But for Zoe – their twenty-something daughter who grew up in a world of climate change, housing crashes, student debt, the rise of dictatorships and the fall of democracies – there is no \u201cbetter\u201d to go back to. For her the purgatory of the last two years was just a pause from life in Hell. So what\u2019s the point? Isn\u2019t it easier to just give up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written by Michael Gene Sullivan with Marie Cartier
Music & Lyrics by Daniel Savio
Directed by Velina Brown
