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
