Local Group Celebrates ZDay, a Global Awareness Event
San Francisco, CA – March 1, 2010 – Saturday, March 13th from 12pm-7pm in San Francisco’s Mission District, supporters of The San Francisco Bay Area (California) Chapter of the Zeitgeist Movement will present an event open to the community in honor of Zeitgeist Day (shortened: ZDay). ZDay is an annual day of global action, occurring in the month of March, designed to explore the root causes of the unfolding world financial, environmental and labor collapses that are not discussed in mainstream press or academia and increase awareness about a proposed solution that involves the creative application of Science and Technology for social concern on a global scale in the form of a “Resource-Based Economy.”
The event will consist of of two presentations (lectures), each roughly 1.5 hours long, including time for Q&As. Location: The Box Factory, 865 Florida St., San Francisco, CA 94110. Ph: 415.637.6870, info @theboxfactory.org. The event is free. Due to limited seating, please pre-register by visiting http://www.meetup.com/zeitgeistsf/
This year, over 500 simultaneous ZDay events are expected to take place in 70+ countries worldwide, the largest of which is scheduled to occur in New York City, where Zeitgeist Movement Founder and award-winning documentary filmmaker Peter Joseph will speak to a sold-out audience on a panel with world-renown industrial designer, social engineer, author and founder of The Venus Project. Joining them will be Fresco’s associate, Roxanne Meadows and select international organizers of The Zeitgeist Movement. This event will be broadcast live online and can be viewed from a link available at The Zeitgeist Movement website http://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com. For information on all ZDay events worldwide, visit: http://www.ZDay2010.org
This ZDay, the Zeitgeist Movement will be celebrating its one-year anniversary as the activist arm of The Venus Project with over 375,000 members across the globe, proving to be the world’s fastest-growing grassroots movement for social change to cross all barriers of nations, governments, races, religions or class. Supporters of The Venus Project strive towards the declaration of all the Earth’s resources as common heritage to all the world’s people and support the notion that “through the humane application of Science and Technology to social design and decision-making, we have the means to transform our tribalistic, scarcity-driven, corruption-filled environment into something exceedingly more organized, balanced, humane, sustainable and productive” (Peter Joseph, The Zeitgeist Movement Activist Orientation Guide, 2009). Movement activists advocate moving out of a monetary system into a global, resource-based economy in order to create abundance and facilitate the elimination of crime, poverty, pollution and war.
San Francisco Bay Are Chapter of the Zeitgeist Movement holds regular monthly meetings to discuss local activism efforts to educate the community about the root problems of our current system and how the The Venus Project approaches solving these problems, applying the scientific method to a social design to sustain both mankind and our planet.
