CRITCAL MASS BICYCLE MOVEMENT! Critical Mass is a bicyclist movement (NOT an organized group!) that holds weekly protests all over the world to protest pollution. Rides are the last Friday of every month starting in Union Sq. Park North, 7PM! At a DFNYC meeting attended by Norm Seigel, Norm used Critical Mass as an example of the kind of activism that NYC needs most and the way Bloomberg is trying to squelch our rights and our voices. Critical Mass deserves our help. According to Bloomberg, my inclusion of this in my newsletter is probably illegal. Well, I refuse to let Bloomberg tell me what I can and cannot write in my Newsletter.

And see their NYC calendar for Bike Workshops and other rides (including ones outside Manhattan). http://www.times-up.org/calendar/calendar.php
There is more you can do to support Critical Mass. This comes from a reader in Manhattan:
To help keep people involved in Critical Mass, people who might be sacred off because of renewed aggressiveness by the police, I have started a pledge drive that sponsors arrestees. This is a great way for people to stay involved in Critical Mass, stay on top of the issue, and use the NYPD and Bloomberg's tactics to work for us not against us. I am pledging $2 per arrestee, and the money will go to the Legal Aid Society. Pledges are made on the honor system. The more bicyclists the cops arrest the more money for defending civil rights is raised.
BROOKLYN EVENTS:
This comes from Chris Owens' newsletter.
JOIN US ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 24 FOR AN EVENING WITH "THE FOUR
CONGRESSMEMBERS": Nydia Velazquez, Major Owens, Ed Towns, Anthony
Weiner
As Democrats, we believe that Mayor Bloomberg has done his part for New
York City and deserves some credit for his efforts. But it is time
for leadership that is more sensitive to the needs of all the people as
well as small businesses.
From the use of private millions to circumvent campaign finance laws and accountability, to his advocacy on behalf of millionaires and private developers exploiting the theory of eminent domain, this Mayor has placed the real-life concerns of working people at the bottom of his priorities ... and that is the wrong way to govern New York City. Freddy Ferrer is the right person to lead New York City onwards and upwards.

Drinking Liberally gives like-minded, left-leaning individuals a place to talk politics. You don't need to be a policy expert and this isn't a book club - just come and learn from peers, trade jokes, vent frustration and hang out in an environment where it's not taboo to talk politics. Here are our local Brooklyn groups:
Park Slope: First Wednesday of each month, 7:00 pm onward, Commonwealth, 497 5th Ave (at 12th Street). Hosted by Emily Farris and Peter Wohlsen, parkslope (at) drinkingliberally.org
