Who wants to join us in org...

The San Francisco Bay Area Readers of Daily Kos. We meet regularly around the Bay Area for political activism and also, recreation. One of our hallmarks is rolling out the red carpet for out-of-town/visiting Kossacks in the form of dinners or pot lucks.

This is a group dedicated to collecting and republishing, with occasional new contributions, diaries about surviving and thriving in the face of today's economic and social realities. Philosophies, politics, etc take a back seat here to "This is, so now what?"
