Action Plans and Targets for the Next Business Day After the War Starts

We are asking affinity (action) groups to choose an item from the menu. Take over and transform one of the following key intersections and corporate and government offices/buildings. Or join the "Take Out" mobile Bikes not Bombs actions. Or plan your own action and menu item.

Attend the weekly spokescouncil meeting to coordinate and help organize. Meetings take place every Monday at 7pm, location listed in the navigation bar on the left.

On the business day the morning after war starts you may wish to just go directly to a "menu" location. Otherwise go to Justin Herman Plaza where people will come out to support the actions. There are many ways to reclaim, transform, occupy or blockade spaces. Sit-ins, street parties, lockdown, objects, performance, street murals, gardening, large sculpture, die-ins…

NO TIME TO DINE? TRY OUR TAKE OUT! BIKES NOT BOMBS


Bicycling: A Quiet Statement Against Oil Wars
Join the mobile Bikes not Bombs. Bring your bike (or rollerblades, or skateboard or any human-powered wheels) with signs, flags, and decorations to Main and Market at 7am (or whenever you can make it) and support all the stationary action, fill the streets with bicycles, get the word out…. Your affinity group can be its own moving anti-war bike ride.



OUR DRIVE-THRU SERVICE


Auto Brigade:
Drive solo through downtown very, very slowly. Or team up with one or two other drivers and take two or three lanes on one street. Support bicyclists and help the street blockade actions. Simply stop your car and refuse to move for as long as you are comfortable doing so. Leave it. Run out of gas. Transform the City. Stop the War.

"This approach might provide some of us older people, in particular, with a more viable method for prolonged participation."

-From the person who started this idea and said this was used by the movement that toppled Slobadan Milosevic.
