DESCRIPTION:On November 8, 2010, the CIPO-VAN collective launched the CIPO-caravan, an 
 epic bike ride from Vancouver, Canada, to Oaxaca, Mexico. The purpose of 
 the CIPO-caravan is to raise awareness and build community around the 
 projects and struggles of the Consejo Indigena Popular de Oaxaca-Ricardo 
 Flores Magon (CIPO-RFM) and migrant agriculture workers in 
 Canada.\n\nDuring their SF bike tour stop, CIPO-VAN collective members Gil 
 and Jocely...n will talk about CIPO-RFM, the situation of migrant workers 
 in Canada (most of whom come from Mexico), cross-border solidarity, support 
 for Pablo Alavez, a CIPO-RFM member currently in jail for defending the 
 forest in his community of San Isidro Aloapam, and more.\n\nCIPO-VAN is a 
 Vancouver-based activist organization committed to the creation of 
 community and transnational networks. Its primary focus is the 
 dissemination of information and perspectives on autonomous community 
 organizations and the strengthening of public awareness and civil society 
 through public events and alternative media. Particular attention is paid 
 to aboriginal cultural rights, sustainable community living, and 
 resolutions to cultural and economic discrimination. Members include 
 students, professionals, Canadians, Mexican and internationals of different 
 cultures. CIPO-VAN is guided and inspired by many aspects of indigenous 
 Mexican culture including food, fiesta and communal participation.\n\nFor
