The New Parkway is proud and honored to host the premiere of Rahkii “Hyp” Holman’s new documentary about his great uncle, the revolutionary visionary Amilcar Cabra, who led the independence movement in Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde. To the tune of Lo-Fi Hip-Hop and Afrobeat music, Holman highlights the ways in which Cabra’s philosophical fight against colonialism, racism, and fascism have influenced activists for generations worldwide. This special screening is an exclusive preview before its submission to the African Studies Association of Africa conference in Cape Verde.

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.

THIS ACTION IS PART OF “STOP BILLIONAIRES SUMMER, an eight-week campaign focused on mass action, civil disobedience, and movement-building targeting the billionaire and corporate elites fueling the crises we’re living through.”
“From Elon Musk’s techno-fascist empire to fossil fuel financiers and real estate tycoons, we’re coming for the billionaires who are attacking our communities and stealing our future. And we’re organizing to win.”
From mid-July to September, actions will especially target the tech oligarchy and other billionaire backers of fossil fuel and Trump’s programs.
Organizers describe how previous actions have demonstrated the power of prolonged, disruptive protest. In last summer’s Summer of Heat on Wall Street, more than 5,000 people converged on New York to disrupt the financial backers of fossil fuels, with a special focus on blockading Citibank, a key investor.
The following December, Citi announced a major improvement in its climate policies, promising to step down fossil fuel investments more quickly than any other bank’s plans.
You can sign up on this Stop Billionaires Summer Interest Form https://actionnetwork.org/forms/stop-billionaires-summer to stay informed about what’s happening and how you can participate.
Join Stop Billionaires Summer and fight back against the rising threats to democracy, our climate, and our communities.
Valero Refinery, Benicia
In the Bay Area, the Valero refinery in Benecia has announced that it’s going to close in 2026 — and other refineries seem to be on the brink. Refineries pollute local communities and add to the climate crisis. But closing them suddenly leaves their workers without jobs, their communities without a major source of tax revenue — and their toxic legacy in the environment.
Join The Climate Center in a webinar on Planning for Refinery Closures that Benefit Workers, Communities, and the Environment.
Speakers
Connie Cho, Asian Pacific Environmental Network
Steve Young, Mayor of Benicia
Josh Anijar, executive director, Contra Costa Labor Councill;l
Theresa Keates, special advisor to the vice-chair of the California Energy Commission
