What we’re about
This Meetup is a coalition of most of the Bay Area Freethought groups. We post our various meetings, hoping that people will find groups that suit their outlook. A number of Skeptical meetings are also posted here. We're an "umbrella" for a few locations at once: SF, North, East, and South Bays, and the Peninsula.
Some groups post their meetings as recurring, meaning you will see several meetings listed as upcoming. But most post their meetings a couple of weeks before the event. This can give the appearance that meetings are dominated by the groups with recurring events.

This is a Book Group. Reading the book is useful for participation but not mandatory. For the meeting in June, we will read HALF THE BOOK, through all the articles from the first three sections: The Surveillance State, Africa and ending with the articles in the India section, about 164 pages in all.
Join us on video chat as we discuss this month's book, details below. Newcomers are always welcome, as are new book suggestions. A Zoom link will be visible to those who RSVP.
PLEASE NOTE that no one will be admitted after the first 30 minutes of the meeting in order to avoid disrupting the discussion.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure to add any +1s, and to change your RSVP early if you can't make it.ABOUT Lessons From a Dark Time and other essays by Adam Hochschild
In this rich collection, bestselling author Adam Hochschild has selected and edited over two dozen essays. Threaded through them is his concern for social justice and the people who have fought for it. The articles range from a California gun show to a Finnish prison, from a Congolese center for rape victims to the ruins of gulag camps in the Soviet Arctic, from a stroll through construction sites with an ecologically pioneering architect in India to a day on the campaign trail with Nelson Mandela.See past Book Group Selections at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rOYjJXpE_ixZg6F9YezAFSQrWBQxMR251tNrkARVJVw/edit#
