DESCRIPTION:Why Critical Mass? Car Culture, Oil, and Environmental Injustice: 
 \n\nCritical Mass is a celebration of bike culture, a meaningful 
 alternative to car culture and greenhouse gas generating fossil fuels. 
 \n\nA strong scientific consensus agrees that the 2005 hurricane season was 
 fueled by global warming -- and the crimes of the oil industry in the Gulf 
 go beyond global warming. \n\nAugust 25th marks the day Katrina reached 
 hurricane strength and slammed into the coast of Florida. It's also the 
 last Friday of the month, widely observed by Critical Mass rides around the 
 country. \n\nThe goal of this ride is to take to the streets with a 
 reminder that the racist tragedy in the Gulf continues, a demand that it 
 never be repeated, and to raise awareness about the role of the oil 
 industry and global warming in environmental injustice. \n\nWe'll also be 
 fundraising at rides around the continent for advocacy and relief groups in 
 New Orleans. \n\nAt least 27 cities joining the ride! \n\nJoin us in 
 demanding Climate Justice on August 25th: \n\nRead more details about the 
 event. \nGet involved - find out about rides in your area, start a ride, 
 help spread the word. \nRead about other Katrina Anniversary events.

 major issue of concern is the nexus between climate change and the 
 widespread prevalence of poverty in the world. The impacts of climate 
 change will fall disproportionately upon developing countries and the poor 
 persons within all countries, thereby exacerbating inequities in health 
 status and access to adequate food, clean water and other resources." \n\n-
