Time's Up Schedule for March

Here are some ways to get involved with bike riding in NYC...




VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR LEGAL SUPPORT AND VIDEOTAPING!



While we have had success with our Federal case (special thanks to Norman Siegel and all the lawyers), much assistance is needed as individual cases start coming to trial.  



In particular, the National Lawyer’s Guild (NLG) is looking for volunteers to help in a variety of ways as they prepare the defense of arrested cyclists.  If you can lend a hand, call 212 679 6018, x20.  You can say you heard from TIME'S UP! that they were looking for volunteers.



Motions for discovery in these cases are bringing new evidence to light.  Early discoveries have been amazing and might help to reveal wasteful spending and corrupt behavior.  We are also seeking to determine whether equipment and resources used to suppress free speech and hinder community-building  was paid for with resources earmarked for combating terrorism.



In one early motion for discovery, lawyers reviewed police helicopter footage from a special $9.8 million Bell 412 helicopter that was recently purchased by New York City.  Its infrared night vision cameras were focused on Critical Mass and also people making out on rooftops.  Check out the Channel 2 story, "The video the NYPD doesn't want you to see."

Keep shooting video and keep documenting!  It’ll make a difference



Still we ride!

and terminates replicants, artificially created humans. He wants to

get out of the force, but is drawn back in when four "skin jobs", a slang

term for replicants, hijack a ship back to Earth. The city that

Deckard must search for his prey is a huge, sprawling, bleak vision of

the future. This film questions what it is to be human, and why life

is so precious.
