It's an organized coincidence with no leaders and no set agenda. People come together for many reasons, to assert their right to cleaner air, less congestion, safer roads, no blood for oil, and to celebrate and ride in solidarity with other cyclists and like minded individuals. Celebrate this month with Critical Mass in Los Angeles! \r\n","numcomment":3,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2003\/03\/41394.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":41477,"heading":"Add it to the calendar","article":"Look up at the top of the page, just below the la-indymedia logo across the top are 5 categories:  about us, contact, subscribe, calendar, publish.\r\n\r\nYou can add events to the calendar: http:\/\/www.la.indymedia.org\/calendar\/\r\n","author":"Doodle","parent_id":41394,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-03-27 17:07:44","modified":"2003-03-27 17:07:44","fileurl":""},{"id":41483,"heading":"Simple","article":"If critical mass still stands for educating people about the virtues of bicycle commuting and the many benefits of bicycling then I'll be happy to attend.\r\n\r\nIf critical mass has been hijacked by pro-saddam leftists, count me out.","author":"Simple Simon","parent_id":41394,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-03-27 17:14:34","modified":"2003-03-27 17:14:34","fileurl":""},{"id":41486,"heading":"Do Something Productive","article":"Search thousands of one-time and ongoing Red Cross opportunities by zip code, category, and date on VolunteerMatch's powerful online database.         \r\n\r\nWe depend on volunteers, who constitute 97 percent of our total work force, to carry on our     humanitarian work: \r\n      \r\nEvery year, the Red Cross is there for hurricane, earthquake, and other disaster         victims--including 150 families forced from their homes by fire every day.\r\n\r\n                \r\n\r\n          \r\n175,000 volunteers worked to prevent, prepare for and respond to nearly 64,000 disaster incidents last year.              \r\n\r\n    \r\nOver 15 million Americans turn to us to learn first aid, CPR, swimming, and other health         and safety skills. Last year, more than 230,000 people volunteered to teach those courses.\r\n\r\n      \r\n\r\n    \r\nHalf the nation's blood supply--six million pints annually--is collected by more than 190,000 Red         Cross volunteers. \r\n\r\n      \r\n\r\n    \r\nAmong our emergency services for the men and women of the armed forces is the delivery         of urgent family messages--one every 22 seconds. \r\n\r\n          \r\n\r\n        \r\nOver 24,000 volunteers serve as chairs, members of boards of directors, or on advisory boards for local Red Cross units - chapters, Blood Services regions, and military stations.       \r\n\r\nAs part of the International Red Cross Movement, we work to ease human suffering on a global scale. \r\n\r\nDon't wait another day to find out how good it feels to wear the Red Cross emblem.
