PARKING HINTS:

 
For all locations:  DO NOT leave anything valuable in your car!!!

For downtown venues (Freight, Civic Center Park, Jupiter):  Metered street parking until 6pm (enforced right up to 6pm).  Paid parking available in Center St Garage (enter from Addison, next to Freight) & Allston Way Garage (enter from Center) - You can also find free on-street parking (2 hour limit Monday-Friday until 6pm) in residential areas below Martin Luther King and north of University.

Additional parking and transportation advice at http://www.freightandsalvage.org/directions and http://www.berkeleyrep.org/planyourvisit/index.asp

 
At Ashkenaz:  free parking across the street in the REI lot 

At Marxist library:  on street parking

At UC Berkeley:  parking very very difficult to find - look for on-street parking, or try one of the garages, or park in residential areas (south of Dwight) and have a pleasant short walk.  Note:  residential areas near UC all have 2 hour parking restriction on weekdays, which should be sufficient for attending the panel discussion.
