Protect Black Women.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Without introducing intersectionality into the conversations of race and gender, not everyone will be able to obtain the freedom that we all so justly deserve and yearn for. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Therefore, say it again. This time for the people in the back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Protect Black women. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because until they are all free, none of us are free.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ image via @blakedixon⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BlackWomensRide #NewYork #Brooklyn #protest #bike #riders #riders4rights #bikeequity#cycling #bike #bikelife #toolsofresistance #bikesaretoolsoffreedom #decolonizebikes #bikeprotests #bikesinresistance #justicerides https://www.instagram.com/p/CFr6c0RHdHU/?utm_medium=tumblr

Protests for Black Lives have been ongoing since more than 100 days in New York City. They are peaceful, have clear demands, and are pushing for more equality and rights for all BIPOC people.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bikers have been the guardian angels of the protests. They ride ahead and back, circle the march, to make sure everyone can walk without fear of being hit by a car.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Recently, a car of Trump supporters stormed through the protest in Times square, injuring bikers and protesters. Nothing done. No charges to the driver of the car.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On Monday, September 7th, Sarah Pitts, died hit by a bus, while biking home from a meeting with @riders4rights. She was present to protect in many protests.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In a time where more and more people are using bikes as a primarily mean of transportation because the pandemic, it is important that all of us are advocating for equitable safe streets, are mindful, and careful of pedestrians, marchers, cyclists and that we also pressure the city to create more and equitable infrastructure and protection for all.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ image/rp: @ny.strong⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Blacklivesmatter #NewYork #Brooklyn #protest #bike #riders #riders4rights #bikeequity#cycling #ftp #bike #bikelife #toolsofresistance #bikesaretoolsoffreedom #decolonizebikes #bikeprotests #bikesinresistance #justicerides https://www.instagram.com/p/CFSKe7bH-cz/?utm_medium=tumblr

❗️Bike NYC❗️Repost from @thebrownbikegirl video via @blackpowderpress • TW: Video of police abduction in #bikenyc • The kidnappers have come to NYC. And the NYPD bike squad is their willing back up. The orange shirt says WARRANT SQUAD, but be certain this drive-up-and-snatch technique, whether targeted or random is intended to instill fear and suppress the current movement against racial inequity, #policebrutality, & to #defundthepolice. Dont stop. Continue to be fearless. Be smarter: -- Stop livestreaming & sharing faces of protestors. -- Dont be out in the open by yourself -- Stay tight. -- Bikes can be fences & shields. -- There will always be more residents and protestors than agents of doom. -- De-arrest as a group of you can. Push them, smash their windows, slash their tires. -- Be aware that NY is also dealing with ‘walking while trans ban’. This allows cops to arrest any trans person under the guise of soliciting sex work. -- We’ve also had three trans deaths this week. The arrested protestor here is a trans femme. Protect trans folks and each other at all costs. -- Google Operation Legend to understand why Federal agents are in our cities. -- Wear a helmet and goggles. Be prepared. -- Agents will most likely be in rented vans and SUVs, be cautious when you see them. -- Complicity to the bike and outdoor brands who supply and benefit from the police system is a problem. CEOs are unethical and psychopathic. Boycott and keep pressuring them to do better. • #blacklivesmatter #revolution #defundthepolice #justiceforbreonna #bethechange #nojusticenopeace #pedalrevolution #bikesinresistance #toolsofresistance #bikesaretoolsoffreedom #decolonizebikes #bikeprotests (at New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDOojM1F5u6/?utm_medium=tumblr

"The past several days have taught us many things. We still have a long, long way to go toward police reform and racial equity, but the unprecedented level of national and global protesting seems to be moving the needle toward positive change. This fight is far from over, however, and if you ride a bike, you can actually put it to good use at some protests. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “We learned early on that bicyclists can play a crucial role in helping to both lead and ensure the safety of protests,” says Carlos Polanco, a New York City protest organizer. “When we have y’all up front, it allows us to close streets off, create distance between us and the cops, and scout ahead.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve ridden my bike to a few protests and ended up marching with it alongside me, but this weekend when I joined a protest Polanco helped lead, I got recruited into a whole new role as part of such a bike brigade. It can get pretty intense when you find yourself using your wheels to shield protestors from a bunch of baton-wielding cops, but it’s also empowering and rewarding work that makes a difference. Here are a few things to keep in mind if you bring your bike to a protest and get called into action." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ via @gearpatrol https://www.gearpatrol.com/outdoors/a735620/bike-protest-tips/ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #blacklivesmatter #revolution #defundthepolice #justiceforbreonna #bethechange #nojusticenopeace #pedalrevolution #bikesinresistance #toolsofresistance #bikesaretoolsoffreedom #decolonizebikes #bikeprotests https://www.instagram.com/p/CC_Z0qhlAst/?utm_medium=tumblr
