Still We Ride: A31 Bike Bloc [BNC]

Still We Ride: A31 Bike Bloc [BNC]

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.

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:
