Joseph M. Schwartz is Professor of Political Science and former chair of the Political Science department at Temple University where he teaches political theory and American politics. He is the winner of several university teaching awards, and the author most recently of The Future of Democratic Equality: Reconstructing Social Solidarity in a Fragmented United States (Routledge, 2009). In it he argues rampant inequality can only be
overcome if diverse though disempowered social groups build a sense of solidarity founded upon their common humanity. It won the American Political Science Association’s David Easton prize for political theory. His first book, The Permanence of the Political (Princeton, 1995), won the North American Society for Social Philosophy award for best book.

Schwartz has also published numerous scholarly articles on topics ranging from just war theory and the war on terrorism to the challenges neo-liberal globalization poses for egalitarian politics and policy. He also writes in political journals such as In These Times, Jacobin, Dissent and truthout.org.

Founded in 2001, San Francisco Zine Fest seeks to advance the do-it-yourself ethos by fostering community throughout the Bay Area. In its annual weekend-long festival and its accompanying panels and workshops, it celebrates and supports independent writers, artists and creators, allowing them to share their work with an ever-growing audience in exhibitions and public events.

We’re super excited to be part of SF Zine Fest this year. We’re going to be passing out some of the radical zines we’ve made together as a chapter on topics like Socialist Feminism, Capitalism, Queer Liberation, Homelessness and more more more! Come stop by on Sept 3rd between 11-5pm and help out or say hi.

The Bay Area Anarchist Book Fair is an annual event that brings together people
interested and engaged in radical work to connect, learn, and discuss through books
and information tables, workshops, panel discussions, skillshares, films, and more!
We seek to create an inclusive space to introduce new folks to anarchism, foster a
productive dialogue between various political traditions as well as anarchists
from different milieus, and create an opportunity to dissect our movements’
strengths, weaknesses, strategies, and tactics.

DSA SF is proud to take part in the Anarchist Book Fair. Members are invited to join us at our table to hang out and distribute zines -- particularly members who identify as anarchists or are influenced by anarchist thought.

The left is coming together in the wake of the chaotic Trump administration. Bernie Sanders brought a mass movement together through his campaign, and we’ve seen some of the largest protests in US history, just in 2017 so far. Although the Democratic party establishment has made some overtures to this movement through the “better deal” program, they refuse to take concrete steps to prove any motion towards the left, like rejecting corporate money or embracing single-payer healthcare.

So how do we take the movement forward? Socialists and the left can lead the way. The Republicans may control the Federal Government, but we can establish footholds in cities or even states, all over the country, and build progressive strongholds. Trump is trying to attack the working class and lower our living standards so he can enrich his billionaire friends.
However, we can Trump-proof the Bay Area by building local, working-class power, and winning concrete gains, like taxing the rich, building affordable housing, ending homelessness, establishing REAL sanctuary cities, winning single-payer universal healthcare, and stopping police brutality. We can win all this and more by electing independents and socialists to local office who reject corporate money, and through unified action based on a movement of the working class and oppressed people.

Socialist Alternative Bay Area, and the San Francisco chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America are hosting this event to bring the left together and Trump-proof the Bay Area.
