Civic Summons: 2046⚡️July 11th
Civic Summons, Sunday, July 5, 3:30-6:00PM, MPIC Clubhouse – Register
Overview
Somewhere between the rocks & trees, a portal is opening in Miraloma Park. Step into a future where we shape neighborhood climate resilience together & civic assemblies* are a celebrated part of SF life.
*Civic assemblies are a form of deliberative democracy that brings together residents to collaborate to influence policy (see: Wikipedia).
What to Expect
Join your neighbors twenty years in the future for this part-gallery walk, part-workshop. We'll explore what it could look like to achieve some of our region's climate goals and practice working together to address fictional, hyperlocal issues.
Seasonal snacks, tasty drinks, & a commemorative gift
A gallery of objects from future assemblies
An editable (mostly hopeful) climate timeline
Fictional problem solving with neighbors
NO POLITICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, OR TIME-TRAVEL EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
Entry
Open to all SF residents 16 & up: especially those with some connection to the surrounding neighbhorhoods in District 7 and 8 (West of Twin Peaks, West Portal, Glen Park, Miraloma Park, Diamond Heights, etc.). No guarantee of entry without registration.
Parking & Transportation
The MPIC clubhouse is served by the 44 and 48 buses, which are reachable from Forest Hill Muni or Glen Park BART stations. Onsite parking available on a first-come first-served basis.
Accessibility & Considerations
Unfortunately, this venue is not wheelchair accessible, with 11 steps to enter the building. This event requires at least 20-30 minutes of engaged participation. Restrooms are available on site.
Partners & Grounding Research
This activation is grounded in selected themes from the 2026 SF Climate Action Plan and designed in collaboration with CivicMakers as a part of their larger body of work, Ridiculously Hopeful Futures. We believe in using participatory experiential futures to empower public servants and residents to create more human-centered policy outcomes in the "Hopeful State of California".
About the Future of Us Festival
Launching on America's 250th anniversary, the inaugural Future of Us festival is a 10-day celebration of civic imagination and possibility. We're turning community-sourced, expert-crafted visions of the future into art, storytelling, and participatory experiences. With 100+ events spanning every corner of the city (floral labyrinths, speculative future worlds, dance parties with a purpose, and neighborhood meet-ups), it's a living exploration of what a more creative and generative civic culture could feel like. Organized around four themes (Green Futures, Social Futures, Science & Tech Futures, and Media Futures), Future of Us is breaking down the barriers between art, ideas, and each other, and everyone is invited to co-imagine what comes next.

About the Future Culture Fellows Program
The Future Culture Fellowship is a yearlong program that resources the people best positioned to shape the future of civic life in San Francisco: the community builders, artists, and grassroots visionaries already rooted in neighborhoods and traditions across the Bay. Fellows design and host original, science- and arts-centered experiences that reflect their unique perspectives on what's possible, and become part of a growing Future Culture Collective dedicated to making civic life in SF more vibrant, connected, and imaginative. The event you're signing up for was dreamed up by one of the 2026 Fellows.
