We wondered how many people would show up. The call for today's bike ride for Oaxaca didn't even get widely circulated until yesterday afternoon and many of us have been going non-stop since finding out about Brad's death on Friday.

The actions at the consulate on Monday morning were powerful but also draining. A.N.S.W.E.R. held another consulate protest Tuesday afternoon and that night there was a liveley and very visible Oaxaca/Brad Will contingent within Greenwich Village's Halloween parade. So who was gonna come to a bike ride for Oaxaca at 1p today? It turned out beautifully.

Bike Rides for Oaxaca!

If you are in New York City, join the Friends of Brad Will this Wednesday, November 1st for a Bike Ride in Solidarity with the People of Oaxaca!

We are meeting this Wednesday at 1 pm at 40th St & West Side Highway (12th Ave) and will be riding to:

1. Expose the commercial media’s distortion of the current situation in Oaxaca.
2. Raise awareness about the capitalist forces in our city that are benefiting from the continued repression of the people’s movement.
3. Highlight the hypocrisy of the Mexican government holding a future seat on the Human Rights Council of the United Nations.

If you are not in New York City, we are calling on people from around the world to join the Zapatista call for November 1st actions in solidarity with the people of Oaxaca (see the call below) by organizing a Bike Ride for this Wednesday or As Soon As Possible!
