Come raise your spirits in community! #SundayFunday #Community #TenderloinSF #flashbackfriday to the #SummerOfLove!

Check the profile link to read more! . . "What is a free store? Its first principle is to give whatever can be obtained to those who will take. This means clothing, furniture, appliances, food.

There are still a reported 15,000 nuclear weapons in the world today, but together, in community, we can continue to demand nuclear disarmament and a peaceful future for the generations to come. GLIDE envisions and fights for this future every day. #GLIDEforDisarmament #FromTheArchives #GLIDEHistory #disarmament #vintagephoto Today marks 72 years after the horrific bombing of #Nagasaki, Japan at the end of WWII. GLIDE remembers the thousands of innocent people who tragically perished in the initial atomic blast as well as the many more thousands who suffered the physical and psychological symptoms of radiation exposure for the rest of their lives: the mothers who lost their babies, the communities ravaged by increased rates of cancer, the elderly survivors who have developed new forms of leukemia and face great pain in their old age. . . We remember them. There are still a reported 15,000 nuclear weapons in the world today, but together, in community, we can continue to demand nuclear disarmament and a peaceful future for the generations to come. GLIDE envisions and fights for this future every day. #GLIDEforDisarmament #FromTheArchives #GLIDEHistory #disarmament #ColdWar #vintagephoto
