Susie Os and the independent publishing house, AL Press are proud to present their first book in a series on Direct Democracy, Political Activism and Personal Freedom. The neo-conservative gun-toting minority has high-jacked the Republican Party, the United States Supreme Court as well as the language and terminology of freedom, but AL Press is here to help YOU fight back. While violent white supremacists and hard-core evangelicals with the assistance of talking heads and masters of propaganda like Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson have subverted the very basic principles of the United States to strip average, hard-working Americans of their fundamental rights, the 'silent majority' of freedom-loving and proud Americans can no longer stay SILENT. But how do you protest inside a increasingly oppressive, militaristic and violent society? How do you stay safe when your very life may be at the whim of a heavily armed racist police officer recruited into a position of authority by his white supremacist overlords and protected from prosecution by an ever more corrupt judicial system? RESIST. It is the only ethical and moral option, and this is the book the government doesn’t want you to have. AL Press - Independent Publishing at it's best. Susie Os and Bonny Freedom are the editors of the first in a series of books on political activism and personal freedom. This book along with several others at AL Press follow a long tradition of promoting literary freedom as protected by the United States constitution. However, due to recent challenges, and post-9/11 censorship, the authors and AL Publishing are currently writing under pseudonyms for their own protection.

ISBN: 0520288378

An alternative history and geography of the Bay Area that highlights sites of oppression, resistance, and transformation. A People’s Guide to the San Francisco Bay Area looks beyond the mythologized image of San Francisco to the places where collective struggle has built the region. Countering romanticized commercial narratives about the Bay Area, geographers Rachel Brahinsky and Alexander Tarr highlight the cultural and economic landscape of indigenous resistance to colonial rule, radical interracial and cross-class organizing against housing discrimination and police violence, young people demanding economically and ecologically sustainable futures, and the often-unrecognized labor of farmworkers and everyday people. The book asks who had—and who has—the power to shape the geography of one of the most watched regions in the world. As Silicon Valley's wealth dramatically transforms the look and feel of every corner of the region, like bankers' wealth did in the past, what do we need to remember about the people and places that have made the Bay Area, with its rich political legacies? With over 100 sites that you can visit and learn from, this book demonstrates critical ways of reading the landscape itself for clues to these histories. A useful companion for travelers, educators, or longtime residents, this guide links multicultural streets and lush hills to suburban cul-de-sacs and wetlands, stretching from the North Bay to the South Bay, from the East Bay to San Francisco. Original maps help guide readers, and thematic tours offer starting points for creating your own routes through the region.
