NYC Times Up! Critical Mass Ride and Water Prom On Fire Events
Hi all,
As some of you might have already heard, NYC Critical Mass rides have very recently experienced increased harassment from the fuzz (surprise, surprise). Due to pressure from Manhattan bureaus, even Brooklyn CM (which has generally operated without too many problems), has been experiencing ticketing and arrests. What can I do to help, you ask??
This Friday's ride needs as much help as possible. Folks are meeting at 7PM, Union Square North
Please support this ride with your presence!!
Dress warm and rain-ready, and please join Time's Up! after for Water Prom On Fire (mass riders get a discount!):
Love, Rage & Solidarity,
Rob

Friday October 16th 2009
Meet 8pm at foot of Williamsburg Bridge north, Brooklyn side.
Ride in style and join us along the Brooklyn Waterfront to land at a massive party with a discount price for bikers!
You get the discount ticket if you come on the bike ride!
The Oil and Gas Industry is dangerously close to drilling in our watershed with a toxic process called "Fracking", brought to you by Halliburton, that would permanently pollute our water supply and air quality, ravage our land and farming industry and put us all at grave health risks.
We say "You can't crash this party, Cheney! Get out of my water!"
Filmmaker, Josh Fox, has traveled across the US, collecting stories of those who have already been exposed to toxic gas drilling and is finishing a documentary to show the world the truth behind this supposedly "clean" energy source.
But we need help to finish it! FAST! The gas industry has been given the green flag to drill and we need to act now!
So join us and dance hard and drink up before we're all fracked.
Bring your prom date! If you arrive on a bike- $5 discount!
