WAS DEMOCRACY JUST A DREAM?
The American Dream. It used to mean a job, a house, a car, a spouse, 2.5 kids, and a .4 dog. But what does it mean now? For Gabriel Pearce, a Black man tired of liberal failures, on the day after the presidential election it means victory! Giving up on progressivism wasn’t easy, but casting his vote for a Conservative who promises to be grateful could mean a dream come true. However, for his daughter Paine – a teacher at a university caught between protesting students and threats to funding – it’s a nightmare! Or was the lost election just a dream? Or will A.I. catch fire, like Paine’s boyfriend Oliver sees in his nightmares? Do androids dream of electronic voting? Can we create the utopia of justice activist student Emma hopes for, or is the present just a dream within a dream within a dream? But whether you’re asleep or Woke what some see as nightmares others see as… American Dreams.

Join Zoom Meeting
https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89531900427?pwd=mXg1rSZe3ONl4pfWlALW4ornc32Eez.1
Our speaker will discuss the new edition of his book, Palestine, Israel, and U.S. Empire. This is an essential book for the current moment, providing a sharp analysis of the struggle for Palestine, updated following the events of October 7, 2023.
Taking an anti-Zionist perspective on the history of Palestine and Israel, Becker traces the movements of resistance from the division of the Middle East by Western powers and the Zionist settler movement, to the founding of Israel and its role as a watchdog for US interests, and on to present day conflicts and the prospects for a just resolution. This narrative is firmly rooted in the politics of Palestinian liberation. Here is a necessary contribution to the heroic efforts of the Palestinian people to achieve justice in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. This book contains a complete index and a timeline of developments in the history of Palestine.
Our speaker, Richard Becker, is a founder of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) and Western Region Coordinator of the ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism). He is author of numerous books, including Palestine, Israel and the U.S. Empire, The Myth of Democracy, and The Rule of the Banks.
NOTE: This will be our first meeting after the attempted assassination of Trump, so our speaker may also discuss its political significance. Folks may want to prepare themselves by reading:

We are delighted to invite you to the California Progressive Alliance 2024 Convention!
This will be our first in-person convention back since the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are excited to announce that for the first time ever, the CPA convention will take place in Southern California at the Los Angeles Trade-Technical College! This year’s theme is Movement Building & Organizing Sustainable Power in California. As with past conventions, we will come together to develop, build and strengthen avenues in political and social spaces that help us work for a better future for ourselves and for the next Seven Generations.
Earlier this year, we worked hard to announce a series of candidate endorsements. Our endorsements spanned different parties because we choose to recognize that many people are doing their part to move us in the right direction, and different people utilize different avenues. For some people, that looks like trying to bring the Democratic Party to the left, or at least try to prevent it from doing further damage. For others, it looks like running as a member of the Green Party or the Peace and Freedom Party. Still others choose other routes to build political power.
At CPA, we are not in the business of telling people where to engage in their struggle for our collective liberation. Instead, when people run for office and claim to uphold progressive ideals, we ask: Is this candidate corporate free? Do they support single payer healthcare, climate policies, and labor rights? Do they connect to and represent their community? These are the ideals that have always guided the California Progressive Alliance. It is with these ideals in mind that we announce the California Progressive Alliance 2024 Convention.
We are excited to bring you a full day program that will include speakers, special guests, pertinent topics, panels, 8 separate breakout workshops (choose 2), the presentation of the 2024 Gayle McLaughlin Award, breakfast and lunch (included in the cost of the ticket), music, movement building, and just spending time with new people and old friends building community.

Speaker: Kenneth Hammond
Socialists in the Euro-American left have never really understood the dialectics of the Chinese Revolution from the formation of the People’s Republic, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, to the present. Just what is going on with the Communist Party of China (CPC)? Our speaker will help us better understand the dynamics of modern China.
Our speaker, Kenneth Hammond, is a professor in East Asian Studies & Global History at New Mexico State University. He earned his PhD in History and East Asian Studies and was active in the student movement at Kent State Univeristy. He is also the author of From Yao to Mao: 5000 years of Chinese History and other books. Ken has lived and still teaches regularly in China

National Day of Mourning: Justice for Sonya Massey & Alexander Antonio Lopez
On July 6, a 36-year-old Black woman, Sonya Massey, called 911 to report a suspected intruder at her home. Her first words when she opened her front door to them were “don’t hurt me.” Instead of protecting her, Springfield, Illinois police shot and murdered her inside of her own home. The sheriff who killed her, Sean Grayson, was on duty in his 6th policing job of his career after being disciplined in five previous police departments.
Sonya is more than a victim of the police state. She was a mother, a sister, a daughter and a loving community member. We say her name as we continue to rebuke the paradigm that dying at the hands of the state is an unpreventable leading cause of death for our people.
Join us on Sunday for a vigil, healing ceremony and community gathering. There will be speakers, performers, healing justice practitioners and an open community mic.
As we join in this national day of mourning, we also want to honor the life of Alexander Antonio Lopez who was murdered right in our backyard by SFPD just last weekend.
Antonio was killed in the Tenderloin, in an area where homeless folks are frequently swept. As the state cracks down on people sleeping in the streets with nowhere to go, we call out this murder as part of the state’s efforts to disappear our people in the name of maintaining the illusion that the status quo of white supremacy and violence works for us all. It never has and it never will. We rebuke it in the name of our divine humanity.
Sonya Massey should still be alive. Alexander Antonio Lopez should still be alive. We continue to fight for a better world in their names.

Hardware hack night – each Tuesday, we welcome sudoers new and old to bring their hardware projects to the space, or simply come by to learn and tinker! All welcome, 7pm til… whomever’s left standing!
Special Workshop Presentation and Explorations: XR in Art
What fine arts are doing with virtual reality / augmented reality and XR in general, and how can we make exhibits and virtual reality Art at SudoRoom and Beyond? We’ll be looking especially closely at the Venice Biennial Immersive and the Cannes XR Virtual Festival.
Also, how can you mix virtual reality with hardware? We have seen projects where people 3D print mountains or sculptures of maps.
Project Ideas
If we force you to watch a presentation, you’d better believe we’ll offer a workshop:
- Could we print a 3D printed map of Oakland or even make it out of paper machine and do light projection animations on it without having to use a headset?
- If we do have a VisionPro or Quest, could we use that to look at a 3D object?
- How can we make #webxr exhibits of our wonderful space and show off our projects? we already. have some throw-up explorations here https://fancy-charming-physician.glitch.me/

Richmond Town Hall Meeting: “Climate and Community Health”
Our Richmond ACCE Chapter is proud to invite you for a very special Richmond Clean Energy and Healthy Homes Town Hall Meeting: “Climate & Community Health”. We will be joined by our special guest Dr. Bret Andrews, former Associate Chief of Neurology at Kaiser Permanente Oakland, who will lead a discussion about how climate change is impacting the health of our community!
Together we can build a future where our appliances do not give our children asthma, where local industries do not impact air and environmental quality, where we can all breathe healthy and clear air. Join us and be part of the movement!
The Wachowskis’ neo-noir dystopian political thriller sci-fi classic feels more relevant today than ever. Though it concerns the underground rebellion against Nordic supremacy and neo-fascist totalitarianism in an alternate futuristic Britain, it sure seems a lot like 2024 America.
In a future British dystopian society, a shadowy freedom fighter, known only by the alias of “V”, plots to overthrow the tyrannical government – with the help of a young woman.

We gather every Friday morning in front of the office building at 1528 El Camino Real in San Mateo, the location of the office of US Representative Kevin Mullin between 9 and 11 AM to demand he take a strong stand for a permanent ceasefire and no more weapons for Israel. He represents District 15, which includes San Mateo County, and now these neighborhoods of San Francisco: Crocker Amazon, Excelsior, Little Hollywood, Mission Terrace, Oceanview, Outer Mission, Portola, and Visitacion Valley. Various groups are represented at our weekly protest including San Bruno Ceasefire and Peace Action San Mateo. Please join us.
Earlier this year the Anti Police-Terror Project proudly launched The People’s Clinic with scheduling options every 1st and 3rd Friday at The People’s House in West Oakland. We created The People’s Clinic as an abolitionist healing space for communities affected by police terror and state violence, frontline organizers, and our West Oakland neighbors. We offer free services for community like acupuncture, herbal consultations, massage, healing tools library, monthly workshops, and more.
Our Healing Justice framework invites community to envision and manifest a life beyond the violence we survive everyday. Without healing there is no justice. Sign up today to join us for free healing services this Friday!
Our Clinic draws upon the revolutionary history of the Young Lords and seeks to honor the legacy of Dr. Mutulu Shakur. Ancestral medicine is one of the greatest strengths that our movement has to combat state violence, and it is a central value of APTP to utilize healing justice as a strategy for the longevity of organized resistance.

SAN FRANCISCO EMERGENCY ACTION: US OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST! STOP FUELING REGIONAL WAR!
Join us in protest as we pass 300 days of continued Zionist violence and atrocities against the Palestinian people. Israel, with full backing from the United States, has continued its genocide against Palestinians with total impunity. With continued escalations in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iran, and Iraq, the Zionist occupation has made clear how desperate it is to spark a regional war before putting an end to the genocide of Palestinians.
We call on our community to mobilize and demand that the US stop fueling regional war with the Zionist entity: Hands off Gaza, hands off Lebanon, and hands off the Middle East—US out of the Middle East! US out of everywhere! For our martyrs. For our prisoners. For Gaza. For the struggle towards a better world!
Email strike.debt.bay.area@gmail.com a few days beforehand for the online invite.
For our July meeting we will be reading The Path to a Livable Future: A New Politics to Fight Climate Change, Racism, and the Next Pandemicby Stan Cox (Amazon, City Lights).
An urgent call for the political transformation needed to address the common causes of climate change, COVID-19, and racism.
“ . . . some big titles will address emergencies that have outlived Trump. The Path to a Livable Future by Stan Cox, explores the connections among the many crises of the past year and a half.”—Dorany Pineda, Los Angeles Times
2020 was a year defined by crisis. For decades, scientists have been sounding the alarm about the urgency of addressing climate change, but it took COVID-19 to demonstrate clearly that the future of human life on Earth is interconnected and at risk. While the virus quickly spread across the globe, extreme weather events compounded the suffering and economic catastrophe. In the U.S., public demonstrations of outrage over the murder of George Floyd expanded to include a growing awareness of the pandemic’s disproportionate impact on communities of color. In cities around the world, people took to the streets to protest racial inequity in all of its forms.
In The Path to a Livable Future, Stan Cox makes plain the connections between the multiple crises facing us today, and provides an inspired vision for how to resolve them. With a deeply informed, clear to-do list, Cox shows us how we can work together to address the climate emergency, white supremacy, and our vulnerability to future pandemics all at once. Our future depends on it.
