Leave at 4, arrive at 3 to check out Gays Eating The Rich in the Park!
End location: Always Here Bookstore
Books, flyers, zines and art are a HUGE part of revolutionary movements. If you've been itching to make some of your own protest posters, print some zines, or find a great book about Palestine, then we've got a bike ride for you! Come along as we take a tour of pro-Palestine art/literary spaces, and go home with some cool prints and new knowledge. We'll be leaving from Laurelhurst at 4, and we recommend getting to the park an hour early so you have a chance to check out all the cool stuff happening at "Gays Eating the Rich in the Park" before we go. If you're running late for our leave time, meet us at our first stop instead. First stop: The Independent Publishing Resource Center! Come for a tour of the space, learn what things you can make here, and grab a zine or print. Second stop: Outlet! You've probably seen some gorgeous protest posters that have been printed at Outlet floating around town, so here's your chance to learn a little about risograph printing and take home a fun print. Third stop: Always Here Bookstore! Best selling author Lydia Kiesling will join us at this stop for a reading and conversation. All three places we stop at are listed on Portland to Palestine (portlandtopalestine.com), a directory of local businesses that stand against genocide and apartheid. We will ride at an easy pace with fun music, and we always make an effort to not leave anyone behind. The print materials that we send folks home with on this ride all relate to the Global Movement to Gaza flotilla, which seeks to break the siege of Gaza and bring aid to starving Palestinians. We hope you'll also join us on Sunday 9/7 for a flotilla solidarity ride and march. π²πΆπ£πΌβ΅
