<div>Hi there! I'm a critical mass rider who is working with other cyclists and the climate change action group Rising Tide to organize a continent-wide Katrina anniversary critical mass ride for the last Friday in August (the 25th). This was the day Hurricane Katrina reached hurricane strength. </div> <div><BR></div> <div>The idea is to remind people of the still ongoing crisis in the Gulf and the potential for further catastrophic events from fossil fuel inspired climate change.</div> <div><BR></div> <div>We're looking for contacts with critical mass groups who want to collaborate on this, which would basically mean committing to organizing a ride marking the day and hopefully:</div> <div>1. Organizing a sign making making party for the ride ("More Cars = More Climate Change = More Katrinas", "Critical Mass for Climate Justice", "Katrina was Environmental Racism", etc.).</div> <div>2. Advertising the event to make it a big critical mass (we're developing
designs for flyers, handbills, etc.)</div> <div>3. Collecting funds at the Critical Mass ride to send to activist and relief groups in New Orleans.</div> <div>4. Print out education stuff to hand out to people on the street witnessing the Mass (we've got some of this in the works too.)</div> <div>5. Spreading the word to Critical Mass riders in other cities.</div> <div><BR></div> <div>PLEASE Let me know if you might be interested and I can send you materials.</div> <div> </div> <div>hearts and bicycles, </div> <div>emma bee from the beehive collective</div><p>
