Simultaneous Memorial for Cyclist Deaths
Wed, June 29th at 7pm
4 Cyclists Killed by Trucks & SUV within the last two months
Four different locations
Andrew Morgan, 25, Houston & Elizabeth, Manhattan
Elizabeth Padilla, 28, 5th Avenue and Prospect Pl, Brooklyn
Brandie Bailey, 21, Houston & Avenue A, Manhattan
Jerome Allen, 59, Hylan Boulevard, Staten Island
Bring candles and flowers
Simultaneous Moment of Silence at 7:20pm
4 Cyclists have been killed by trucks & SUVs in the past 2 months. This Wednesday will be a week from when Andrew Morgan was killed on Elizabeth and Houston. 7pm Wed night Time’s Up! and the community will be having a simultaneous memorial on the site of all four deaths that will establish the link between their deaths and the need for safer streets for cyclists. We also will be bringing to light the fact that no driver has been charged in any of these cases and we want safer infrastructure now. During the course of the last year the city has not just arrested cyclists, they have also created a climate on the streets that is more conducive to a lackof respect for cyclists. The city has also spent millions of dollars trying to confuse our clear message of needing more safety and infrastructure for cyclists.
TIME’S UP!! Get Outraged!! Stop the Killing, Demand Respect!!
PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY

*apologies to Jesse Cohen for taking this pic from his exhibition series without crediting him. I moved in haste and with poor form. Sorry Jesse. This image was drawn from a collection of several thousand pre-war Eastern European photographs at the YIVO Institute, a Yiddish library and archives in New York where the curator [Jesse Cohen] works as a photo and film archivist. Email yishai (at) fastmail.fm if you’d like to get in touch with him.
don’t forget sunday’s block party.
So as a little experiment today to see about the new act that was passed making EC available over the counter (a pharmacist can prescribe it) I went to the Duane Reade near my office that’s connected to the Port Authority and asked for it. I brought info about the act that was passed wednesday. She totally denied me the EC. I’m not sure if that was fully illegal. I’ll have to find out more. In the meantime. Here’s an important resource for those of my friends without health insurance (isn’t that like all of you?) If you need emergency contraception, you can call this number and you can also use this search page to find providers of EC in your area:
The Reproductive Health Program at the University of Rochester will do a personal medical assessment over the phone for women in need of EC who cannot reach a clinic. They will call a prescription in to the pharmacy of your choice. There is no charge for this service. Please call the pharmacy in advance and confirm that (1) it stocks Plan B and (2) it is open during the hours you want to pick up the prescription. When you call, please be ready with the name, address and phone number of the pharmacy. Call at 585-341-6568 during regular working hours and 585-453-2444 evenings until 9 PM and weekends in the morning. *they do not prescribe to non-patients on weekends.
http://www.getthepill.com/ is a medical internet site that provides prescriptions for emergency contraceptive pills. After taking a medical history to determine eligibility, they will phone in a prescription to your local pharmacy. The cost of an online assessment is $24.95 and does not include the price of the pills. (There is no fee if you are denied a prescription.) This website is available 24 hours; prescriptions are not submitted to pharmacies between 10 pm and 8 am EST. You must be a US resident and between the ages of 18 and 40 to use this service.
Click here to get info about EC and use the zipcode finder.
Calling the people in Rochester is really easy, just have the name and phone number of your pharmacy ready and they’ll call it in for you.
tonight. vigil at 6pm for Andrew Ross Morgan at 6pm at the corner of Elizabeth and Houston. Please come. Here’s info from Indymedia.
my bandaged leg last night. it’s healing though it’s still pretty gruesome under the bandages.
