Embracing Sacrifice: The Key to Thriving in Survival Situations

Join us at the Ruth Williams Opera House to honor Dr. Willie Ratcliff’s 93rd birthday and engage in a vital brainstorming session dedicated to sustaining the SF Bay View newspaper. This event will take place on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, from 6 to 8 p.m. at 4705 Third St., San Francisco. Celebrate with cake and ice cream before diving into a compelling conversation focused on strategies to preserve this essential Black radical newspaper, which faces severe financial challenges. The Bay View serves as a crucial voice for community truths and accountability. In 2025, it has suffered an alarming loss of approximately $4,000 monthly. With rising expenses in printing and distribution, we urgently need your creative ideas and support. Kevin Williams aptly encapsulated the Bay View’s importance: it is a vital community anchor and instrument of liberation. Let’s ensure it thrives for future generations!
