[GPSCC-chat] Summer / Fall Actions

[Tian Harter]

On Sept 24th Bike Party is doing a climate ride starting at discovery 
meadow. Diane Solomon is the key person, but I'm involved. It would be 
great if the event could get a lot more support somehow:

Can you guys see that page?

Can we get the Green Party endorsement?

Here is the blurb from that webpage:

World-wide, Saturday September 24th is the day to take positive peaceful 
action to reduce climate change by moving without fossil fuels. We’re 
doing it in San Jose with an all ages kid-friendly bike party from 11 am 
to 2 pm!

Let’s meet at 11am at Discovery Meadow Park, at the corner of Woz Way 
and San Carlos Street. We’ll ride together to the Luna Park Chalk 
Festival at Bakesto Park and take an hour to enjoy the Festival and 
lun...ch together. Bring your own or buy from the vendors. From Bakesto 
Park we’ll ride to another amazing location that’s still being worked 
out, then back to Discovery Meadow Park by 2 pm.

San Jose Bike Party Birds will help facilitate the ride.

A grassroots movement started by www.350.org, Green Peace, Global 
Exchange and Friends of the Earth is calling it Moving Planet Day. So 
far, groups in 188 countries are up for this and a big blow out event is 
scheduled in San Francisco, while we bike party in San Jo. See 
www.moving-planet.org for more info.

We’re a coalition of concerned South Bay earthlings that have decided to 
join in on this global rally with a bike party.

So far this ride has been endorsed by Sierra Club's Loma Prieta Chapter, 
San Jose Bike Party, San Jose Bike Soiree, the Silicon Valley Bicycle 
Coalition, the City of San Jose's Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory 
Committee, SJSU’s Transportations Solutions group and TransForm. More 
are signing on each week.
