Join us at Mrs. Dalloway's Bookstore on Tuesday, February 18th when Judge David Tatel comes to the store to present his book Vision: A Memoir of Blindness and Justice. Click Here to order a copy of Vision. The moving, thoughtful, and inspiring memoir (Bryan Stevenson, author ofJust Mercy) by one of America’s most accomplished public servants and legal thinkers—who spent years denying and working around his blindness, before finally embracing it as an essential part of his identity. David Tatel has served nearly 30 years on America’s second highest court, the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, where many of our most crucial cases are resolved—or teed up for the Supreme Court. He has championed equal justice for his entire adult life; decided landmark environmental and voting cases; and embodied the ideal of what a great judge should be. Yet he has been blind for the past 50 of his 80-plus years. Initially, he depended upon aides to read texts to him, and more recently, a suite of hi-tech solutions has allowed him to listen to reams of documents at high speeds. At first, he tried to hide his deteriorating vision, and for years, he denied that it had any impact on his career. Only recently, partly thanks to his first-ever guide dog, Vixen, has he come to fully accept his blindness and the role it's played in his personal and professional lives. His story of fighting for justice over many decades, with and without eyesight, is an inspiration to us all. JUDGE DAVID TATEL served on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 1994 to 2023. Prior to that, his three-decade career as a civil rights lawyer included private and government positions, and focused heavily on equal educational opportunity and access to justice. He served as Director of the Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and then Director of the National Committee. He was the Director of the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare during the Carter Administration. When he returned to private practice in 1979, Judge Tatel joined Hogan & Hartson, where he founded and headed the firm’s education practice until his appointment to the D.C. Circuit. Judge Tatel also co-chaired the National Academy of Sciences’ Committee on Science, Technology and Law. Judge Tatel and his wife, Edie, have four children and eight grandchildren. They live in Virginia and Washington, D.C. THIS EVENT is free but registration is requested. Registration ends at 5:30 pm on February 18th, 2025.

Kevin will be joined in discussion by author Cynthia Gorney and will sign copies of his book after the presentation. Click Here to preorder a copy of The Lost and The Found .In the tradition of Stephanie Land and Matthew Desmond, a powerful and deeply reported narrative of homelessness, despair, and hope. Kevin Fagan’s The Lost and the Found, set in San Francisco—one of the wealthiest cities in America—takes an empathic, character-driven approach to exploring the human side of what’s behind the homelessness epidemic. An award-winning journalist and Pulitzer Prize nominee who has covered homelessness for decades and spent extensive time on the streets for his reporting, Fagan experienced it himself as a young man and brings a deep understanding to the crisis. He introduces us to Rita and Tyson, telling the deeply moving story of two unhoused people rescued by their families with the help of Fagan’s reporting, and their struggle to pull themselves out of homelessness and addiction, ending with both enormous tragedy and triumph. But The Lost and the Found is not just a story of individuals experiencing homelessness, it is also a compelling look at the link between homelessness and addiction, and an incisive commentary on housing and equality. Fagan shines a sharp light on this national calamity, and in sharing Rita and Tyson’s stories, The Lost and the Found has the potential to change the way we see and help the homeless. KEVIN FAGAN is a longtime, award-winning reporter at the San Francisco Chronicle and a Pulitzer Prize nominee. During his career, he has covered homelessness, the 9/11 terror attacks, serial killers, California’s wildfires, and much more. Follow him on X @KevinChron.

In this remarkable narrative feat, Carstensen brilliantly showcases the extraordinary heroism of ordinary people in extreme circumstances. In a world where forced migration is on the rise, A Greek Tragedy challenges us to confront our collective humanity. It’s an unforgettable testament of our times and a compassionate depiction of the lengths to which a person will go to save another human being.

After the hike, why not head back to the Berkeley taproom for some well-deserved refreshments? Fieldwork recommends trying their Hills & Valleys beer, but you can choose any beer that suits your taste. A Fieldwork representative will be present to lead the hike and welcome participants. If you're coming from the Berkeley taproom, simply head south on Sixth St towards Harrison St, turn left onto Gilman St, left onto Santa Fe Ave, right onto Marin Ave, and continue straight until you reach the destination. The hike will start 15 minutes after 10 am, and latecomers can join along the path. Bring a friend, bring your dog, or come alone and immerse yourself in the experience of hiking in the hills and enjoying a cold beer with the Fieldwork Hiking Club.

Join the Halloween Kidical Mass bike ride and ice cream truck party in Berkeley on Saturday, October 28th at 1:00pm! This event is a fantastic opportunity for kids to boost their confidence on their bikes while having a great time with family and friends. The previous Kidical Mass ride had an incredible turnout of over 100 riders from all over the East Bay, even in the rain! This time, we're riding the weekend before Halloween, and we encourage participants to wear costumes, although it's not mandatory. After the ride, everyone can enjoy a refreshing treat from the ice cream truck, and there will also be some fruit available. Remember, it's important for kids to wear a helmet while riding, but apart from that, all they need is a bike. This is a no-drop ride, meaning that everyone can ride at their own pace and be a part of the fun. If you have a bell on your bike, get ready to ring it a lot! Kids, caregivers, and anyone who supports kids biking are all welcome. For any questions or if you'd like to help guide the ride and ensure everyone stays together, please contact marc@precipice.org.
