The Bay Area climate community is planning a local action in coordination with the “Insure our Future” Global Week of Action. Together we will hold the insurance industry accountable for its role in the climate crisis. Without insurance, most new fossil fuel projects cannot go ahead and existing ones must close. This makes insurance the Achilles heel of the fossil fuel industry.

On March 2, millions across the world will march for Gaza! Join us in San Francisco as we join the call to hit the streets!
Gaza is facing famine, its hospitals are besieged, threats of ground invasion in Rafah loom near, and Israel continues its onslaught on the over 2 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The mass movement for Palestine has led to the isolation of the US and Israel on the world stage. With growing internal divisions and heightened political pressure on Israel and the United States, it’s time to push even harder.
Our mobilizations in this moment can be more decisive than ever, and we must show our full strength now to ensure a lasting ceasefire and an end to the siege on Gaza.
All out for Rafah! All out for Gaza! Stop the genocide!
President Biden campaigned to close the off-shore gulag, we must hold him to account.
FEMINISTS STAND FOR PEACE, Not Genocide & Occupation

Join our march against UC Berkeley’s proposed development of People’s Park, a cornerstone of Berkeley’s countercultural legacy and values. This protest unifies us in our plea against the commercialization of our park and demands that UC Berkeley consider alternate locations for development, such as the vacant chancellor’s mansion. People’s Park stands as a beacon of community empowerment, environmental stewardship, and social justice.
Event Title: March for People’s Park: A Stand for Green Space and Justice on Regent St.
Date & Time: March 15, 2024, from 5 PM to 8 PM
Location: The march begins at Willard Park and progresses along Telegraph Avenue to Sproul Plaza, ending at the People’s Park Mural/Chess Club at Haste and Telegraph.
The march is a declaration against the militarization of our shared spaces, supporting peace and the rematriation of Ohlone land. We denounce UC’s financial motives and call for investments that truly enrich our community. We urge the Regents to acknowledge the cultural and environmental importance of the park, returning it to the community that maintains it.
Route Map:
Beginning at Willard Park, the march continues down Telegraph Avenue, incorporates a rally at Sproul Plaza, and culminates at People’s Park (Haste/Telegraph).
Key Activities:
- 5 PM: Gathering at Willard Park
- 5:15 PM: March starts, led by prominent community figures
- 5:45 PM: Rally at Sproul Plaza featuring speakers and artists
- 6:30 PM: Cultural engagement at People’s Park
Safety Measures:
Ensuring safety is paramount. Community medics, volunteers, and traffic coordinators will be present. Masks and hand sanitizers will be distributed, and social distancing is encouraged.
Support and Contributions:
Participate as a volunteer, spread our message, or join the march. For remote supporters, a live stream will be available. Use our hashtags to engage online. Financial contributions should go to the Long Haul Info shop and the People’s Park Council.
Contact Information:
Stand with us on March 15 to express our resolute desire to protect People’s Park. Our unity can ensure this vital green area remains a symbol of communal strength and ecological preservation.
This will be the Court’s first serious return to the issue of abortion since overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022. If successful, this case can impact healthcare access for millions of women across the US —INCLUDING IN STATES WHERE ABORTION IS LEGAL.
People with disabilities and people of color are disproportionally underserved with reproductive care. Speakers will address this as well as the legal and political problem of the Supreme Court having agreed to hear this case. The abortion pill mifepristone has been proven effective and FDA approved for almost 25 years. It is safer than either viagra or tylenol.
Join us for a rousing rally that will include speakers, open mic and music to get us revved up by the Raging Grannies with Brass Liberation Orchestra (together again!)
Sponsored by a coalition of organizations and spearheaded by National Mobilization for Reproductive Justice San Francisco Chapter.
If your group would like to table at and/or endorse this action please email us. There is power in numbers. Join us everyone!

Ryan Gainer was a 15-year-old child with autism who was senselessly murdered by San Bernardino Sheriffs after his family called 911.
Murdering a 15-year-old Black boy experiencing a crisis is enraging and another example why the carceral system must be dismantled. Black people with disabilities face compounded risks when interacting with police.
Black neurodivergent children who are having an episode deserve to live. Black children deserve to live. PERIOD. We shouldn’t have to say anymore names. No one should have to bury their child. Ryan Gainer should still be here.
Join the Anti Police-Terror Project, Disability Justice Culture Club, Disability Justice League Bay Area, and the Center for Independent Living this Sunday
Accessibility: The amphitheater is a wheelchair accessible space, we will have ASL available and will be livestreaming the event. Bathrooms are available at the public library across the street which will be open till 5:30pm. Mask up!
We will have a brief program of speakers who will connect the dots between our interconnected struggles, there will be space for young people and healers, and we will close with a short de-escalation training and seed planting.
Abolition is a disability justice issue. The solutions we need require centering the needs, ideas and testimonies of neurodivergent and/or disabled people. Abolition cannot wait. Justice for Ryan Gainer!
In service and solidarity,
APTP
On March 8, community members served a subpoena to Eric Swalwell for his support for the ongoing illegal genocide in Gaza. Two weeks later, Swalwell doubled down and voted to defund UNRWA, which provides vital aid to Palestinian refugees

Calling all Bay Area journalists: May 11 marks 2 years since the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh. Had Israel faced accountability for her killing, maybe some 140 Palestinian journalists wouldn’t have been killed. Come gather and mourn at this family friendly vigil.

@google workers will lead URGENT #NoTechForGen0c1de rallies in NYC, Seattle, Sunnyvale to demand Google stop profiting from the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
This morning @TIME Magazine -confirmed that Google lied to its own workers, consumers & the public for years, is in fact providing direct cloud computing services to the Israeli Ministry of Defense & the Israeli Occupation Forces, and has ACTIVELY DEEPENED its partnership with Israeli military during the genocide in Gaza, signing a new $1M agreement as recently as 3 weeks ago: https://time.com/6966102/google-contract-israel-defense-ministry-gaza-war/
JOIN US TO STAND WITH PRINCIPLED GOOGLE WORKERS‼️✊🏽🍉
In January 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the appeal of Johnson v. Grants Pass, a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that barred municipalities across the western United States from punishing their unhoused residents for sleeping outside, even when there are no available shelter options. With its hard-right conservative majority, SCOTUS will likely overturn Grants Pass, creating a devastating ripple effect for homeless people across the country. Democratic leaders across local and state governments have submitted amicus briefs, or “Friends of the Court” briefs, in support of the overturning of Grants Pass– a deliberate attempt to use the hyper conservative court to enact violence on their poorest constituents.
On April 22nd, 2024, cities across the country will mobilize to show their support for the rights of unhoused people, demanding that the Supreme Court recognize sweeps without the offer of adequate shelter constitute cruel and unusual punishment, a violation of the Eighth Amendment. In San Francisco, where the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is located and the fight for the human rights of homeless people is most storied, join us in mobilizing from the Federal Building, to the State Building, and then ending at City Hall on April 22nd.
STOP THE SWEEPS!
🚨 This May Day, workers across the Bay Area and across the country will Rise for Palestine 🇵🇸 !
Join an action in Oakland or San Francisco, talk to your coworkers and get them involved.
