*The Ride for Black Lives*

*Hi Charles,*

*   Bikes Not Bombs is an official sponsor of "The 
Ride for Black Lives",* a bike ride in solidarity with the fight against 
systems and acts of oppression, police brutality against, criminal 
injustice system against, and murder of Black people, including and 
especially those who are LGBTQ+', disabled, poor, and under control of 
the criminal justice system.*
*

*   This event is happening THIS Saturday, July 25 from 
11:30am-3:00pm (ish)*. Our youth apprentices, myself, and others are 
going to serve as ride marshalls - corking intersections, ensuring 
everyone has a safe and fun experience. *If you're free and able to join 
us for the ride, meet at BNB at 11am OR at White Stadium at 11:30am in 
Franklin Park (adjacent to Walnut Avenue) for the 
kickoff.*The ride itself is about 10 miles. They are intentionally not 
sharing the route to avoid the risk of encouraging agitators.


Spread the word! Recruit riders! Show up in SOLIDARITY!

Honoring Representative John Lewis

/"I want to see young people in America feel the spirit of the 1960s and 
find a way to get in the way. To find a way to get in trouble. Good 
trouble, necessary trouble." /~ *Rep. John Lewis*

    When Rep. John Lewis came to Boston in 2011, he met with staff from 
Bikes Not Bombs, inscribed in his book to "keep the faith" and reminded 
us to "get in good trouble". I was truly inspired. He was one of the 
youngest, yet most courageous leaders - from the early days of the Civil 
Rights Movement where he was fighting on the front lines as chairman of 
the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). In 1965, he led 
the first March on Selma (on Bloody Sunday) over the Edmund Pettus 
bridge in Alabama that became the catalyst for pushing through the 
Voting Rights Act of 1965, prohibiting the denial or restriction of 
voting, and banning discriminatory voting practices, nationwide.

    Rep. John Lewis dedicated his life to dismantling systems of 
oppression and advocating for marginalized people. As a social justice 
organization reclaiming and using the bicycle as a vehicle for social 
change, we honor his struggle by recommitting ourselves to these goals 
and continuing to fight for equity and justice.

In solidarity,


Elijah Evans

Executive Director, Bikes Not Bombs
