About Us
The GrassRoutes Caravan is a mobile bicycle village traveling from People's Networking Convention in Madison, Wisconsin to St. Paul, Minnesota August 17th through 29th, 2008. For over 300 miles on bikes, we will work on community projects, share stories around campfires, and perform for our hosts, following the “fix shit up” strategy of resistance. We will arrive in St. Paul a couple of days before the protests surrounding the Republican National Convention, so our ride will emphasize direct democracy and alternatives to electoral politics.
See you in the streets!
Who are these people?
We are folks from all over. Riders from Chicago and Connenicut, from Austin,TX and Springfield, MO. There is even a rider from Quito, Ecuador adding a international nuance to the Village. Read more about her and the organization she represents: Ciclopolis!
