Protest Oil Wars at Berkeley Critical Mass -- Plus Book Release Party

The Berkeley Critical Mass will ride this Friday Oct. 11.
Bring anti-war banners and signs to highlight the connection between oil and war, with bicycling being a quiet and peaceful alternative. SO LET'S MAKE SOME NOISE!

There will be a book release party after the ride, at AK Press, 674-A 23rd St., in honor of the release of "Critical Mass: Bicycling's Defiant Celebration", edited by Chris Carlsson. There will be readings, food and beverage, party games and a showing of Ted White's documentary, "Critical Mass: We are Traffic!"

A flyer is posted here and on the website for your information, please print and distribute if you can.

The ride gathers every second Friday (October 11) from 5:30 PM on at Constitution Plaza, at the main entrance to the downtown Berkeley BART station (west side of Shattuck Avenue between Allston and Center Streets). The ride leaves after 6 PM.

A sound system will be present for music and the message.

[Note, Critical Mass by nature has no leaders or stated political ideologies. All are welcome. This is a call for those many bicyclists who are outraged at the horrific destruction of our natural world by the oil and military industries to express themselves at this monthly "rolling free speech stage"].
