Description

In support of positive body image and gender equality we are doing CCM in our underwear. Bring your tunes, let your skin breathe. Board it, skate it, bike it, love it! Body paints, sound-booming bikes and contraptions, underwear and confidence are all welcome here!
Daley Plaza 5:00 pm

Please consider joining us for a post-ride underwear-only event with music, body paints, photo, and video projections at the end of the ride...together we celebrate freedom of expression! $5 suggested donation: 20% goes to Slutwalk
which will be happening in September:

This event is open to all who are respectful of everyone and supporters of gender equality.

There will also be another space where karaoke is available as another option.
Or...ride on into the sunset!

Comment by Barbra Mann on July 25, 2012 at 6:13pm: Matthew: It is in the planning stages the tentative date is September 22nd. Did you go last year?

Comment by Barbra Mann on July 25, 2012 at 6:10pm: Re: letter forwarded from Steven: I think Curley should come in his underwear! Totally kidding! Wow, what a somber thing to have going on. Reminds me of how blessed we are to have our lives and the privileges many of us experience. And that we can do something with our energy to help others. We definitely need to be respectful on the plaza. :-)

Hi folks,

As a courtesy note, we would like to inform you at Critical Mass that our group is planning a public reading of the names of all the 2012 Chicago murder victims at a small ceremony at Daley Plaza on this coming Fri, 7/27/12, also at 5:30 pm, when your upcoming Mass ride is also scheduled. Hopefully we will synergize our energies and spirits!

We are trying to honor the memories of the murdered, as well as boost public outcry at the 45% rise in Chgo murders from last year—We want to hold Rahm and the CPD accountable and have a “Rahm Must Resign” Petition, a Fast we are signing folks up for, and an informational leaflet, and ceremony info we pass out. I’ll include these as attachments if you’d care to have a look.

And excuse us, but do you mind if we wear clothes, but no underwear that day? ; )

Thank you & Let Justice Be Done,

Curly Cohen
