BIKES NOT BOMBS! Small "affinity groups" are planning to transform and occupy the city on the day after war is declared. Bicyclists will be out in force, providing a mobile support for stationary actions and filling the streets with a visible alternative to the oil madness that is engulfing our planet in war. In the event of war, take the day off work and BRING YOUR BIKE DOWNTOWN to take part in mobile actions! Emergency Action To Stop The War! BICYCLES MASS NONVIOLENT DIRECT ACTION Bring your bike and gather at these locations and times: 7:00am Justin Herman Plaza 9:00am UN Plaza Fountain 12:00pm UN Plaza Fountain 5:00pm Justin Herman Plaza Direct Action to Stop the War www.ActAgainstWar.org OUR GOALS: 1) If the government and corporations won't stop the war, we'll shut down the warmakers! We will impose real economic, social, and political costs and stop business as usual until the war stops. 2) Assert our power to transform our city from profits, oil and war to resistance and life! We will create an open, welcoming, inspiring space that gives voice to the anti-war majority as an assertion of real democracy. 3) Uproot the system behind the war (and behind the war at home -- racism, poverty ...); help catalyze mass movements to challenge corporate and government power and create socially just, directly democratic, ecological, peaceful alternatives. BIKING: a quiet statement AGAINST OIL WARS WHAT YOU CAN DO: If the war starts, don't go to work or school and head downtown. Call in sick, walk out, don't go -- and get your co-workers/schoolmates to join you. Form an affinity or action group to get prepared. Get a group of five to 25 of your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, or schoolmates to prepare for and participate in the emergency morning-after action. Make a plan of how you will get together, get downtown and what you will do if war starts. Send one or two people from your group to the weekly action "spokescouncil" to coordinate with other groups. Participate in a nonviolent direct action training to get prepared. Several affinity groups can join together as a "cluster." Bring friends, music, art, performance, and food to share to help transform our city. Help sustain the transformation/ occupation as long as possible -- we will keep it going!
