It’s been a week since our third issue “Bike Liberation” launched. And honestly, this week has made it difficult to talk about it when I really want to burn it all down.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While we mourn and continue to seek justice for Breonna Taylor, I’m reminding myself not to cave into apathy and dismay. That would be too easy and resistance is a long road. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m also reminded that we must keep pedaling and seek to dismantle the policies and establishments that uphold the systems that allows the injustices of white supremacy and patriarchy to prevail. We must continue to create spaces and tables for us, by us, and work towards challenging a future where white supremacy, colonization, and patriarchy are non existent - that work starts inside each of us.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am not perfect and do not have all the answers so please do not put me on a pedal stool. I am always learning and I promise you alI that I will do what it takes to keep our message radical and to kill the cop in my head and burn the fucking system down so you can breath.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I encourage you all to carry THEIR NAMES with you when you ride, say them with every breath as you exhale and pedal. We must not fail them and future generations.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This issue means more to us than you can imagine, the collaboration, words, stories, and purpose behind it means something. Your support for this zine goes to building our tables and supporting BIPOC communities in need of funding. This one particularly goes to building a BIPOC event for us, by us. 10% of all our zine sales go to supporting a BIPOC bike led org. This work means more than zines, it means building what we need after we burn the shit that doesn’t serve us down.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cyclistazine #bikeriotnotquiet #bipoccyclist #resistance #shredthepartriarchy #zine #zines #bikezines #diybikes #decolonizebikes #bipoczine #diybikeculture #ourbikesourstories #bikeliberation #bikesforjustice #ride4justice https://www.instagram.com/p/CFkFUJsHy15/?utm_medium=tumblr
