Join us for a guided tour of San Francisco’s historic murals in the Mission District, many of which highlight the neighborhood's past and present as a sanctuary for immigrants and a hub for activists. Led by a Precita Eyes muralist, our tour will begin at11:30 a.m. at Precita Eyes Mural Arts Center at 2981 24th and Harrison Streets, San Francisco. Following the tour, those who would like to socialize, write, and/or have lunch (no host) before heading back to the hotel can do so at Taqueria Vallarta at 3033 24th Street, a short walking distance from the start of the mural tour. Bookstores, small businesses and shops, cafés, and restaurants abound in this neighborhood. Estimated end time for the tour and gathering afterward is 2:30 p.m. Price: $30

On Sunday afternoon at around 3:00 p.m. (exact time to be announced closer to the date) join us for a one-hour cruise of the San Francisco Bay. We will be joining a public bay cruise operated by the Blue and Gold Fleet with a group discount. This will be a great opportunity to continue conversations and friendships begun at the conference and to take in the stunning views of the city, the Golden Gate and Bay bridges, Alcatraz, and Angel Island. This event is subject to cancellation if we do not have a minimum of 15 people register for it. Price: $30
