Hi SF Jacobins!

This month we’ll be meeting somewhere new: Modern Times Bookstore Collective! See you there (2919 24th St, San Francisco, CA 94110) at 1:00pm, on Sunday 4/10.

Additionally, a group of us will be going to the Bernie Sanders Rally at Dolores Park from 12:00-12:30pm before the meeting to flyer for the group. If you’re interested in joining us let me know!
