Occupy Atlanta Occupies the Streets With Critical Mass
After a tour of the King Center, we will return to Troy Davis Park and inhabit the public space there during the day. Tonight, a Critical Mass bike ride will convene in the park at 6 pm. This is an event which happens every month in order to demonstrate the need for better bicycle infrastructure and exhibit the joy of cycling on OUR streets. Occupy Atlanta participants will decorate our bicycles and join them. Come on down with your bicycle, or hang out in Troy Davis Park.
