Hello San Francisco!

Please join us for the final San Francisco South Asian Radical History Walking Tour of the year, on Sunday, September 13.

We’ll be exploring the stories they didn’t teach us in school: Desi feminists, q***r anti-war movements, Punjabi revolutionaries, undocumented Gujaratis, and even a Tamil pirate. We’ll also be marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11 at the location where South Asian organizers began to stand up to the flood of hate incidents.

On yesterday’s Berkeley South Asian Radical History Walking Tour, we reconnected with our friends from Stanford’s Okada dorm, for what has become an annual tradition.

The tours are a two-way process, and we always learn from what comes up in response to the stories we share.

On yesterday’s tour, participants shared back some of their own stories: immigration precarity, Pakistani student activists in 1970s-1980s Berkeley, and growing up Black and South Asian.

It’s always special for us that Okada students worked for years to include scenes from our tour as part of a larger mural outside their building.

This is a weekend of tours for us: a Berkeley tour yesterday, and two San Francisco tours today. One of us hurt our foot yesterday, so we’ve been doing our best to navigate the situation, bringing a walking stick, carrying painkillers, and being ready to tweak the tour route to reduce walking. Wish us luck.
