Bay Area Solarpunks

Bay Area Solarpunks is eco-futurist, optimistic, and rebellious.

• We envision a future where people live in harmony with nature in autonomous communities organized as participatory democracies.

• We oppose all forms of exploitation of nature and people.

• We are part of the global Solarpunk Movement.

Our immediate goal is to build a Solarpunk community in the Bay Area, discussing, researching, and critiquing environmental, social, political, and cultural issues. We have monthly discussions, a blog with essays, fiction, and art, a book club, and movie nights.
Our midrange goal is to create an alternative community with our own beliefs, culture, permaculture gardens, third spaces, and governance.
The global Solarpunk Movement’s long term goal is to save civilization from itself by replacing capitalism and colonialism with a new world of democratically run communities living symbiotically with the natural world.
