In addition, Walter Johnson of the San Francisco Labor Council, Renee Saucedo of the Mission Anti-Displacement Coalition, and San Francisco District 6 Supervisor Chris Daly have been invited to speak at the event.

Proceeds from this event will go towards the Redstone Tenants' Association. A diverse group of tenants of the Mission District's Redstone Building are organizing with the goal of securing the building as a center for the arts, social service and activism. A jewel in the Mission, the Redstone is located at the northeast corner of 16th and Capp Streets, and was originally constructed in 1914 by the San Francisco Labor Council to house labor union offices and the Temple of Labor, the Labor Council's meeting hall. In 1968, the Labor Council sold the building; rechristened the Redstone Building, it has been the home to numerous non-profit arts and service organizations ever since.
