			<font size=4>Radiation in our Midst</font size>

			Percolating just out of sight and mind at the former Naval Shipyards at Hunters Point is one of the nation's most severe toxic hotspots. Radioactive debris from the H-Bomb tests in the 1940s and 1950s was brought back to Hunters Point for testing and cleaning. Ensuing waste ended up in the soil. The countless toxic chemicals used in naval operations also accumulated below the landfill, all ready to be pushed back to the surface by rising sea levels and groundwater. Hear from nuclear engineering research scientist and lecturer Dr. Ali Hanks, the Public Press special reporter Chris Roberts, and longtime shipyard artist Stacey Carter, who has produced a fantastic and unprecedented history of the shipyard.

	Since Covid-19 disrupted our use of the 518 Valencia Street gallery for our Public Talks after March 2020, we started hosting outdoor "Urban Forum: Walk and Talks" which turned out to be as or more popular than our original Public Talks series... Many of them were recorded on video which you can see on the video pages covering 2020-2023.

	The term “supply chain” is part of our everyday vocabulary since the pandemic impacted world trade, and even more so now with tariffs impacting transnational goods and markets. Our presenters take us into the human aspects of logistics, labor issues, regulation skirting, local impact of global shipping, and San Francisco Bay Area history. With Sam Levens of the International Transport Workers Federation we look into the conditions seafarers face and work to organize people working on container ships.

			<font size=4>Social Housing: Challenging YIMBYs and NIMBYs</font size>

			What we’re doing on housing isn’t working. We’ve upzoned, streamlined, deregulated. We’ve chased the promise of supply-side solutions. And still, the crisis deepens. Across San Francisco and the state, we’re told that zoning and deregulation will solve the housing crisis. But real solutions require more than zoning maps — they need public investment, tenant protections, and community-led planning that puts people before profit. Deregulation is politically convenient. It makes headlines without asking the wealthy to pay. It shifts blame from capital to planners. It offers the illusion of action—without the substance of redistribution. But it doesn’t build homes for restaurant workers earning $40,000 a year. It doesn’t produce family-sized units. It doesn’t build trust, or coalitions, or equity. Because deregulation isn’t housing policy. It’s land-use policy. And land-use reform without capital isn’t a solution. It’s a stall... There is a movement waiting to be built—beyond the tired binary of YIMBY and NIMBY. One rooted in care, solidarity, and the belief that everyone deserves a place to live.

			<blockquote>“Drooker’s comment on the sacrifices inherent to the pursuit of the arts feels both timeless and of-the-moment, thanks to his spot-on critique of late capitalism. Any creative to ever question their craft or purpose will find themselves reflected here.”
			—''Publishers Weekly''</blockquote>

			''This is part of a series of solo artists giving a behind the scenes and in depth look at what inspires them in the interrelationship between art and politics.''
