San Francisco Diggers

The San Francisco Diggers were an activist community in the 1960s, originating from the countercultural movement. They aimed to challenge consumerism and capitalism by providing free services such as food, clothing, and entertainment in public spaces. Operating with a blend of political activism and artistic expression, they sought to promote communal sharing, social justice, and resistance to mainstream society's inequalities. Their efforts helped inspire the broader hippie movement and highlighted the importance of community support and alternative economies during a period of cultural upheaval.
