Catalyzing worker co-ops & the solidarity economy

Author

Storied: San Francisco is an audio and visual documentary about artists, bartenders, community leaders, doctors, lawyers, and business owners who have one thing in common—San Francisco is a place where they live, work, or do their thing in. The stories of people, the stories of places, they need to be told.

This project is a collection of stories about life in San Francisco and the Bay Area. We want to further enrich the experience of being here by learning about the many people who've come before us, as well as those who continue to add to the feeling that this place is special. It's also about getting to know your neighbors through hearing their stories. And we hope that you'll be inspired by the people you meet here.

We stand with the BIPOC community, especially those folks in the Bay Area, and all who fight for racial and social justice and equality.
