Our Berkeley South Asian Radical History Walking Tour returns, on Sunday, Feb 26!

Cone join me in Berkeley, California to hear stories of Desi feminists, Punjabi revolutionaries, a Tamil ex-pirate, immigrant caregivers, and a 1908 anti-racist protest.

More details and registration: https://www.BerkeleySouthAsian.org/

P.S. People have mostly heard about the tour via word of mouth, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. How cool would it be to have our first Mastodonian attendee?
