Help Deliver the Petition Car to Queen's Park!

Meet Wednesday, October 31 at 08:00 a.m. at Oxford and Augusta in
Kensington Market.

Join us for a New Orleans-style funeral procession with costumes, coffins
and music, as we push the Petition Car to the front door of the
Legislature!

"We, the undersigned, do hereby demand that not one more dollar go to
promote, support, or perpetuate car culture. We want bike lanes, public
transit & a train system. We want our public space back. We want local
food, clean air, sustainable industry, a livable future for our children &
and end to oil wars. We want to dance in the street. We want a government
that values life over money."

For friends and family who haven't yet signed the petition car,
come to P.S. Kensington this Sunday afternoon, October 28!
See you in the streets!
