Looking for a spot to Shower?
CHECK OUT LAVA MAE Shower in a converted retired MUNI bus.
http://www.lavamae.org/ About Lava Mae’s Founder Doniece Sandoval: Driven by a fierce belief that everyone has a right to
dignity and the knowledge that access to showers and sanitation are in serious short supply for the homeless, Doniece was
compelled to start Lava Mae. Mission: To deliver dignity and unlock opportunity for those experiencing homelessness — one
mobile shower at a time. Fundamental to this mission are three beliefs:
1. Everyone has the right to be clean. 2. Those experiencing homelessness can’t access jobs and housing or maintain health and
wellbeing if they can’t get clean. 3. With hygiene comes dignity; with dignity, opportunity.

NEW CALIFORNIA SYRINGE LAWS!!!
As of January 1, , licensed pharmacists have the discretion to sell hypodermic needles and syringes to adults
age 18 and older without a prescription to reduce the spread of HIV, hepatitis C and other blood-borne
diseases. There is no longer any limit on the number of needles and syringes that may be sold to a customer.
*Adults age 18 and older may possess needles and syringes for personal use if acquired from a pharmacy,
physician or authorized syringe exchange program.
*There is no longer any limit on the number of needles and syringes that an adult may purchase and possess.
*These changes to California law were made by Assembly Bill 1743 (Ting, Chapter 331, Statutes of 2014). The
relevant sections of California Business and Professions Code and Health and Safety Code now read:
California Business and Professions Code Section 4145.5(b) /California Health and Safety Code Section 11364
•
•
Police officers may not confiscate syringes, alcohol wipes, naloxone, biohazard waste containers, or
other sterile injection equipment, at or near access and disposal sites!
Police officers may no confiscate your sterile syringes because you are now legally allowed to carry an
unlimited amount! If this happens to you please let a needle exchange staff person know!

and fought back for self-determination and cultural rights through the organized struggle of the working class. Today as
a direct result of US economic policy, Puerto Rico is reaching a state of bankruptcy, and the US government and bankers
are pushing further privatization of all public resources. They have already privatized the healthcare system of Puerto
Rico, which has been devastating to the poor and working class. Operation Bootstrap was also the first “free trade
zone”, are precursors to NAFTA by the US in Puerto Rico to increase the profits of multi-nationals and create a unionfree environment. Scott Barbes-Caminero is the secretary-treasurer of the Central General de Trabajadores (C.G.T.), an
independent union that has been successful in organizing multinational corporation workplaces such as IKEA. They have
fended off attacks by both the colonial government and the U.S. government. He will be speaking about the fight against
neoliberalist corporate rule in the Caribbean and how democratic unions are organizing in Puerto Rico to fight back.

Sutter St.A contemporary American drama, To The Bone is about Latina immigrant poultry workers in the U.S. and, in
the spirit of John Steinbeck, gives audiences a look inside the lives of the invisible work force that puts food on our
tables. To The Bone was commissioned and developed by The Working Theater in New York City, and premiered Off
Broadway in September, 2014, at Cherry Lane Theatre, starring Ms. Ramirez and directed by Lisa Peterson. The play was
a finalist for the National New Play Network Smith Prize. Ramirez’s rawly poetic dialogue sears the heart while Lisa
Peterson’s unflinching staging crafts images that haunt the mind. — Time Out New York

number of billionaires increase, tens of thousands of working people and small business people are being driven out of

can no longer live in the Bay Area.At the same time, the city is driving to privatize all public housing and turn the
operations over to non-profits which have appointed boards, and whose workers are very much underpaid compared to
public workers. This forum will look at who is benefiting by these policies and how the privatization of public housing will
lead to the end of any poor people in public housing. Panel: Lynda Carson, Tenant Activist Tony Robles, Tenant

sax and bass clarinet. Veteran reed players with extensive jazz and R&B credits, they seamlessly shift roles in each tune,
sliding from riffing support to propulsive solos. A power trio in every sense of the term, Mo’Fone somehow captures the
kinetic power and sonic punch of a funk horn section distilled to its essence.

Documentary Screening: Message from Hiroshima | SF Friday, July 31, 2015 - 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm | Cost: FREE* AFSC |
65 Ninth Street, Message From Hiroshima will be released by Cinema Libre Studio on August 4, 2015. However, in light
of the upcoming 70th Anniversary of the atomic bombing, Cinema Libre has made the film available in advance to be
shown by select non-profit organizations, including American Friends Service Committee.
Synopsis: Narrated by George Takei, Message From Hiroshima provides an inside look at life and culture in the city
before the first atomic bomb was deployed. Today, where the Hon and Motoyasu rivers meet, stands the Peace
Memorial Park – the former location of the Nakajima district, which once was home to thousands of people and
hundreds of businesses. When the atomic bomb was detonated 2,000 feet above Hiroshima’s city center on August 6,
1945, all of that vanished. Seventy years later, director Masaaki Tanabe makes it his mission to revive the memory of
what once was by interviewing hibakusha (survivors) and former residents. These heart-wrenching testimonials, along
with computer-generated recreations of restaurants, shoe stores, cinemas, and the famous Industrial Promotion Hall,
takes us deep into the hustle and bustle of a lost culture and people.

sounds awful. But it’s basically true. It’s a metaphor. They take what you give us – your heartbreak, your disfunction,
your failures – and they bring catharsis. Everyone gets to have some fun, because we’ve all had at least a few f*cked up
relationships, and something good has to come from that.Free, but an RSVP is required.

Meditation at Faithful Fools Why a Zendo in the Tenderloin? Answer: This is a neighborhood where many of its
inhabitants have a future to look forward to that is as bleak as their past. So since Zen is beyond concepts of both the
future and the past, what better place for someone to go who is being crushed between both times zones than the
Faithful Fools Zendo? There, for an hour a day, it is possible to simply sit with yourself, safely alone in the only moment
that really exists, and perhaps enter a silence that can set you free to live your life beyond the conditined zones of time
and space. If you are fresh to the Tenderloin and find yourself sandwiched between two loaves of rotten bread, one
from the past and one from the future, try sitting in the Faithful Fools' Street Zendo.Meditation Schedule

Faithful Fools will walk with you if you need support. Accompaniment
Don't want to go it alone? Get in Touch with Faithful Fools. Aware of Our Judgments, we seek to meet people where
they are through the Arts, Education, Advocacy, and Accompaniment
Daily accompaniment is a part of the holistic work of the Fools, with the goal of building relationships, providing
services, and giving solid grounding to our advocacy work through direct experience with people and the current
systems and policies that effect their lives. Daily accompaniment works with individuals to discover their own power,
talents, and understanding in order to access services and take steps that lead them toward greater stability with the
supportive community of the Faithful Fools. Several of the people who have benefited from daily accompaniment in
turn accompany others, their greatest resource being their own direct experience and knowledge.
In addition to walking with people through the services they need, we provide direct assistance to those in crisis or
transition by offering short-term cash assistance for housing, food, medical needs, and clothing. We often have people
appear at the door asking for food or material assistance such as a blanket, a pair of socks, toiletries or a jacket on a cold
night.
Daily accompaniment is carried out by volunteers who have made at least one street retreat and who are a regular part
of the process of meditation and reflection. It is central to the practice of the Fools in establishing one-to-one
relationships through which people journey into the deeper meanings of our connection with one another across many
of the lines that divide us. Understanding another’s experience in the very day-to-day level moves us past another layer
of assumptions and toward that which ultimately connects us to one another.
