Our Gatherings & Offerings to San Francisco & Bay Area

Community is the answer. We hear it often but it can be hard to hold onto amidst the daily grind. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re (safely ๐Ÿ˜ท) organizing more in-person gatherings in the Bay Area for all the wonderful characters that make up this magical place.

โ€œBut you wonโ€™t beโ€ฆ the same!โ€™
โ€˜No. I hope not.โ€ โ€” Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin

I finally arrived in San Francisco in 2018 for many reasons, most of them were from stories. Vertigo, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, The Birds, Star Wars, Tales of the City, and yes even The Princess Diaries. Stories gave me permission to live authentically in all of my queer, hippie, radical, indigenous/Latino, geeky, spiritual, & creative parts. What stories make up your Bay Area?

Heart-first Organizing for Liberation

At the roots of change agency, we believe that the path to liberation is more than just protests and voting. Change doesnโ€™t always come in the most expected places. California Farm WorkersThe Black Panther Party, and centuries of indigenous organizing show the power of gathering, food, art, & community. Explore our Bay Area offerings below or with our dedicated Bay Area PeerTube playlist.

Because change doesnโ€™t just happen at the ballot box or at protests, we offer a variety of goodies and gatherings to best meet this moment of overt fascism.
