Protest Ride Against AAPI Hate Will Block Intersections on Sunday

We want to make our members aware that on Sunday afternoon, May 23, 2021, a “Unite The Bay: A Ride Out Against Hate” protest event will take place and affect traffic along the waterfront. The purpose of the ride is to bring awareness to recent AAPI injustices. Bikers will begin their 6-mile protest ride at 2 pm and stop at three intersections: 3rd Street/King Street (Oracle Park), Embarcadero/Washington Street, and 1st Street/Mission Street (Salesforce Tower). The riders will peacefully disrupt and bring attention to the issue of anti-AAPI violence by riding in a circle for about five minutes at each intersection. Organizers expect 100-150 riders.

North Beach Farmers Market Is Coming Back and Needs Your Support

The North Beach Farmers Market is getting ready to open for its fourth season on May 29, 2021. The Market’s lead sponsor, North Beach Neighbors, is excited to help bring fresh produce back to the neighborhood. A new location on Greenwich Street right next to Joe DiMaggio Playground will help grow the market to almost twice the size as previous years.

The Market needs your help! To have a successful run, the Market needs to raise $5,000 to help cover permitting costs, provide weekly live music and programming, and to support community programs which provide visits to the Market for low-income neighbors. Please donate at GoFundMe.

North Beach Farmers Market is one of the only independent markets in San Francisco. It was started by neighbors and is still 100% volunteer run. It only exists thanks to the support of local residents who value local agriculture and the incredible community space that the Market provides.
