TIME'S UP! (via Jym Dyer)
August 31st 04, 03:01 PM
http://nyc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/108845/
When: Tuesday, August 31st, 4:00pm
Where: Union Square Park South
(14th St near Broadway)
Our final Bike National Convention (BNC) event is in solidarity
with the A31 day of nonviolent direct action. Join us in a
non-polluting positive celebration of what our streets could
look like.
Because we will clearly face the unrelenting wrath of the police
if we ride as a group we are encouraging all bike activists to
form buddy groups (3-7) and be prepared to serve a communication
role to actions planned on foot. If the cops create another
frozen zone to bikes we are strongly encouraging documentation
of any such illegal tactics to be later used in any potential
lawsuits.
Bike Bloc affinity groups may choose to reconvene at 6:00pm on
the steps of the Main Public Libary. 5th Ave between 41st and
42nd.
STILL WE RIDE!
The BNC is coming to a close. The turnout has been tremendous
and our temporary space has helped hundreds of activists from
around the city and country get bikes and materials and make
connections.
Unfortunately, environmental change is sometimes slow in coming
and can face resistance. If you or someone you know were
arrested on a bicycle between August 27th and September 2nd,
TIME'S UP! is collecting information in preparation for legal
action. Please contact Anne at:
