Bike! Against War
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
=v= First of all, some PDF fliers here to read, print, and distribute:
http://www.scorcher.org/screed/changing.html#againstwar
And let's not forget this classic:
http://www.scorcher.org/screed/riding.html#notbombs
=v= The fliers and/or idea can be adapted for your location. The gist of it all is below. <_Jym_>
=============8<=============Cut-Here=============8<=============
If and when the war starts: Bring your bike to downtown San Francisco, the next business day after
war begins! We will provide a mobile, visible presence that says NO TO WAR! NO BUSINESS AS USUAL!!!
OUR GOALS:
* To give voice to popular opposition to war!
* To non-violently disrupt the normal functioning of the Downtown area!
* To provide mobile support to stationary direct actions planned throughout the city!
**********
First business day after war begins! BIKE AGAINST WAR!!!
**********
MEETING TIMES (approximate):
7:00am Justin Herman Plaza
8:00am Civic Center Plaza
9:00pm Civic Center Plaza
10:00pm Justin Herman Plaza
******************************
** THIS IS NOT CRITICAL MASS!!** We're not celebrating, and we're not talking about bike lanes! We
are intent on disrupting the normal operation of a major city's financial nerve center. We'll slow
traffic, support other activists, and ensure that a message is delivered to the war-makers who
insist on dragging the world into war: WE DO NOT AGREE!!! WE DO NOT ACCEPT THIS WAR!! WE WILL NOT
PARTICIPATE!!!
Bring beater bikes! Bring friends! Bring food! Water! Bring noisemakers! Bring your anger! Bring
your hope for peace!
* EAST BAY PEOPLE: Do not count on ANY transportation to San Francisco being available the day of
the war. Make arrangements to stay in the city the night before.
** A note to those who will say that once war is declared the time for protest is over: We believe
resistance is more important than ever! History has shown that resistance during wartime restrains
the hand of violent war planners, shortening war and limiting options (Nixon and Kissinger
reportedly opted against the nuclear option for fear of chaos at home, for example). In a situation
where our country has all but promised the use of nuclear weapons (!), we have a responsibility to
impose severe social and financial costs on a political class that is out of control.
