Critical Mass

Cyclists meet at Charles and Redwood Streets 5:45 p.m. the last Friday of every month. Critical Mass is a slow bicycle protest through downtown Baltimore.

Critical Mass is a national phenomenon which has arisen in response to what many call the "car-culture" -- an overdependence on the private automobile. It is, more than anything else, a reclamation of space, a demonstration to show that the city belongs to people and not machines.

BUY NOTHING DAY

For 24 hours, millions of people around the world do not participate -- in the doomsday economy, the marketing mind-games, and the frantic consumer-binge that's become our culture. We pause. We make a small choice not to shop. We shrink our footprint and gain some calm. Together we say to Exxon, Nike, Coke and the rest: enough is enough. And we help build this movement to rethink our unsustainable course.

In its 13 years, BND has become a flashpoint, a day when people of all stripes come together in symbolic protest. Visit the new BND Action Pyramid for a sample of great ways to celebrate.

Need posters, clip-art, web banners, handbills, radio-clips or stickers? No problem. 2004 BND promotional goods are ready for download.

Cape Cod Fur Demo

Farmed fur animals are kept in tiny, filthy cages and often go insane. Fur bearing animals receive zero protections under the Humane Slaughter Act. They are killed by anal or vaginal electrocution, stomping, having their necks broken, or poison injected directly into their hearts to not spoil their fur. Animals electrocuted through their genitals often convulse for two or more minutes before succumbing to massive heart attack. Trapped animals suffer awful, slow deaths in body gripping traps. They often chew off their legs or other body parts in a failed attempt to escape. If still alive when traps are checked they are usually stomped or clubbed to death.

At your 4th intersection turn left onto Exeter Street. Follow Exeter Street to the end (the intersection of Huntington Avenue). The entrance for the Copley Place Parking Garage is slightly to the right in front of you, across Huntington Avenue.

Drive for approximately .5 miles. Take the Copley Square Exit (this is a

At the set of lights just beyond the hotel, you want to be in the far left lane, turn left to enter the Copley Place Parking Garage.

PARKING:
Street parking will be tough as this is the biggest shopping day of the
year (which is why we will be there) so we highly recommend the Copley
Parking Garage. Be sure to get your ticket validated at one of the stores.

Other Parking Garages:
Additional parking is available at the Prudential Center Parking Garage,
which is connected to the hotel by a pedestrian walkway, and nearby at the
Westin Hotel Parking Garage and the Dartmouth Street Garage. Copley is the
cheapest, we think, especially with the store validation.

Critical Mass

Be part of the Solution. Join the Velorution.

Critical Mass is a vision of a happy, bike-friendly world replacing our polluted, congested roads, a protest for better cycling facilities and against car culture, a mobile paean to bicycling�s joys, a merry ride downtown and through the neighborhoods with friends, and more � all rolled into one convenient monthly ride right after work!

Critical Mass is a party on two wheels to celebrate bicycling � a fast, friendly, clean, efficient, healthy, cheap, sensible, and fun way to get around the city.

Critical Mass is not an organization. It is a coincidence. It is a xerocracy. Make your own flyers! Make a route map--maybe it will be followed! Bring a sign, noisemaker, or cupcakes to the ride!

Today Critical Mass occurs in over 100 cities around the world. In the real world, you need only ride a bicycle and you have reduced: air pollution, noise pollution, overconsumptive land usage, marine oilslicks, millions of animal deaths, the incidence of heart disease, the road toll, your monthly transport budget. Your personal gain is nothing compared to the benefits you offer to the greater community.

Presentaci� hackLAB+Videos desallotjament Euskal Jai by Hackresi+Documental: C�digo Linux [al cso la Banka Rota]

El nou proyecte de HackLAB del Cso la Opera organitzem aquesta kafeta per a presentar i autogestionar el col�lectiu que s'ha format, un col�lectiu que volem treballar per la col�lectivitzaci� del coneixement pel que fa a l'�mbit del software lliure, entent-lo com una eina de transformaci� social en el que es sustenten en la seva creaci�, distribuci� i aplicaci� com a recurs una s�rie de valors, etiques i aplicacions socials que trenquen amb la privatitzaci� no nom�s del software/tecnologia sin� tamb� del coneixement i tot el que es desenvolupa d'aquest: cultura, valors, humanitzaci�, ...
Aix� doncs passarem els videos que han desenvolupat Hackresi(hacklab d'Iru�a) mitjan�ant una distribuci� de GNU/Linux autoarrencable (tamb� l'intercanviarem), un exemple de socialitzaci� de la tecnologia, en aquest cas per a visibilitzar la repressi� viscuda al centre d'Iru�a arrel del desallotjament de l'Euskal Jai que portava m�s de 10 anys de projecte com a centre social.
Tamb� passarem un documental sobre GNU/Linux: C�digo Linux, que explica el naixement d'aquest sistema operatiu lliure (c�di obert) i aixi apropar i sensibilitzar a la gent la import�ncia d'aquest sistema operatiu tant a nivell t�cnic com social.
Us esperem a totes!
