Relámpago Wheelery

No, not going thru a break up, in fact, I am happier than I’ve ever been. This scribed nugget of truth, just a little reminder of how quickly it can all vanish into thin air and that, I think, you gotta love hard as scary as it is. Much Love to the relampagitos that keep this shop open. Boom chica boom. #yanoestoyaquí #wheelbuilding #lovehard #losterkos #cumbiaisforwarriors #enbiciporvidaBiciosos!

[12/01/20]   Wielding builds. Building wheels. Amid the instability a stable thing spoked and tuned like a guitar gyrates into someone’s life. Seguimos Trabajando para un futuro cierto. Animo BiciGente.⚡️#wheelbuilding #wheelfanatyk #wheelsmith #schmidtdynamo #velocityusa #klite_dynamo_power #

Thank you all for being a rad community surviving in an oppressive system of avarice, unchecked consumerism and misguided visions. Much Love. Mucha Bici. #f**ktrump #blacklivesmatterla #cargobikes #thefutureisours

Tijuana Comida No Bombas

Today we launch our fundraiser on GoFundMe!

Hoy lanzamos nuestra recaudación de fondos en GoFundMe!

(English, Español abajo)
For over 7 years, volunteers have provided free healthy meals to anyone who is hungry (principally deportees and asylum-seekers) on the streets of Tijuana as part of the ¨Food Not Bombs¨ movement against militarism, borders, food waste and other structural violences. Our project currently serves over 100 plates a day, four days a week in downtown Tijuana outside of a social center where many migrants and houseless folks come for free legal support and medical attention. Because Food Not Bombs principally uses food that would otherwise go to waste, the tens of thousands of meals we have served have been done so with very little funds, all of which have been donated by individuals in solidarity with the movement. However, to fulfill the renovations the city is requiring of us and sustain the day to day expenses of the project, we need to raise $5,000 in the next few weeks!

The funds will be used accordingly;
$3500 for renovations (stove extractor, grease trap, new gas tank, installation, trash and compost service)
$500 for bulk foods (lentils, rice, beans, pasta, sugar, oil)
$1000 for equipment (plates, cookware, benches, tables, gas)

This fundraiser will be ongoing, but the needs are immediate! We want to thank everyone who has supported us over the years with their time, economically, with in-kind donations, and by sharing info about our movement.

For more information, or to volunteer visit Tijuana Comida No Bombas FB page.

SOLIDARITY, NOT CHARITY! FOOD, NOT BOMBS! SANCTUARY, NOT BORDERS!

Durante más de 7 años, voluntarixs han proporcionado comidas saludables gratuitas a cualquier persona que tenga hambre (principalmente deportadxs y solicitantes de asilo) en las calles de Tijuana como parte del movimiento de ¨Comida No Bombas¨ contra el militarismo, las fronteras, el desperdicio y otras violencias estructurales. Nuestro proyecto actualmente sirve más de 100 platos al día, cuatro días a la semana en el centro de Tijuana fuera de un centro social donde muchxs migrantes y personas sin hogar vienen para apoyo legal y atención médica gratuita. Debido a que Food Not Bombs utiliza principalmente alimentos que de otro modo se desperdiciarían, las decenas de miles de comidas que hemos servido se han hecho con muy pocos fondos, todos los cuales han sido donados por personas en solidaridad con el movimiento. Sin embargo, para realizar las renovaciones que la ciudad nos requiere y sostener los gastos diarios del proyecto, necesitamos recaudar $5,000 en las próximas semanas

Los fondos se utilizarán en lo siguiente;
$3500 para renovaciones (extractor de estufas, trampa de grasa, nuevo tanque de gas, instalación, basura y servicio de compost)
$500 para alimentos a granel (lentejas, arroz, frijoles, pasta, azúcar, aceite)
$1000 para equipo (placas, utensilios de cocina, bancos, mesas, gas)

Esta recaudación de fondos continuará, ¡pero las necesidades son inmediatas! Queremos agradecer a todxs lxs que nos han apoyado a lo largo de los años con su tiempo, económicamente, con donaciones en especie, y compartiendo información sobre nuestro movimiento.

¡SOLIDARIDAD, NO CARIDAD! ¡ALIMENTO, NO BOMBAS! SANTUARIO, ¡NO FRONTERAS!

BikeBike Los Angeles 2018

In case you have been wondering what we have been up to & haven't already heard:

Bike!Bike! 2018 is upon us & LÁ is the host city! Volunteers have put in hundreds of hours of work to facilitate folx coming from all around North, Central, and South America. As you can imagine, finding housing and providing bikes (and food) for all of these amazing people has taken some very amazing work done by some very amazing people.

"Bike!Bike! is an international, annual gathering organized by and for community bicycle projects. The conference is a space for participants from shops and related advocacy groups to converge in a different city each year over a 4 day period to have workshops and strengthen our social network."

Please note, that this is an intentional and mindful conference, with daytime events and workshops open to Registered attendees. We ask that all attendees review and adhere to the Safer Space Agreement/Policy listed on the website.
