Relevant to our interests: Saturday, June 8th 10:00am-4:00pm EastSide Cultural Center 2277 International Blvd, Oakland In this day-long training we will learn about the racial and economic inequities built into the Bay Area's public transit system as well as current social justice campaigns working to reclaim public transit for our communities. We will also highlight the movement for building, fixing and riding bikes as one mode of transportation that can provide free, ecological and self-reliant transportation for many folks in our communities, both young and adult. There will be a skill-share on basic bike maintenance and rider safety with instructors from the Bikery and Bikes 4 Life, two people-of-color led bike cooperatives in Oakland. Earth Skills Trainings are FREE and open to the public. Donations are encouraged, but not required.
