Strike Debt Bay Area Book Group: “Stellar: A world beyond limits, and how to get there.” @ Online
Aug 2 @ 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm

Email strike.debt.bay.area@gmail.com a few days beforehand for the online invite.  All are welcome!

For our July, 2025 meeting we will be reading the first two sections (approximately 115 pages) of Stellar, A World Beyond Limits and How to Get There (Amazon), (Goodreads) For our August meeting, we will finish the book.

A bold re-examination of the past, present, and future of humanity, Stellar challenges conventional thinking and offers a vision of hope and optimism – a necessary antidote to the fear and despair that define our times.

Stellar uncovers the root causes of today’s biggest challenges, from war and economic instability to inequality and environmental collapse. It reveals why solutions to these issues are little more than band-aids, why our political and economic structures are failing, and how to unlock humanity’s full potential.

Stellar reimagines what’s possible – a world that gives rather than takes from both people and planet. A Stellar World where today’s pressing issues simply dissolve, where humanity can thrive, free from fear, scarcity, and despair.

This book will transform how you see the world, and your place in it.

Between Acton and Bonar, beside “The Way”, in front of the bike path. 

(Please leave the left lane of bike path clear.)
 
We’re holding these on the 2nd and 4th Fridays, from 5 to 6 pm, for just an hour. This is our 4th “Sing for Justice and Peace.” The first 3 were great fun, and meaningful with many drivers honking support, giving thumbs up etc. If you don’t like to sing, beat a drum or just hold a protest sign and/or bring a poem about peace for the open mic.
 
The leafy location marks an entrance to a shady bike path, and there’s oodles of car traffic passing by. 
 
Everyone Is welcome to join this fun-loving, rebellious, and collaborative event. There’s a sound system, and extra noisemakers if getting loud helps heal your spirit in these war-torn and troubled times. Join this Friday’s FUN protest, open mic, and sing-along for Justice & Peace!
