You are invited to join us in the fight against the Drug War!

DRUG WAR! Race & Party- New York City

Saturday, 4/20/02

Race- 3:30 PM

Party- 10 PM

DRUG WAR! Race:

It's not your average cycling competition but an alley cat race sponsored by the New York Bike Messenger Association. In this race the bikers play the role of drug runners, picking up money, delivering contraband, and bailing their friends out of jail – the ultimate demonstration of the failed Drug War. They race to checkpoints all over the city, acting out the Drug War as it is for many urban Americans. The fastest racer gets fame and fortune.

DRUG WAR! Party:

Produced by Shout Louder! and the New York Bike Messenger Association, The DRUG WAR! Party, is being held at the Lunatarium (10 Jay St., Brooklyn, http://www.lunatarium.com) on the Brooklyn Waterfront & will benefit the Drug War Awareness Project, committed to raising awareness of the Drug War through art and education. Information will be provided by the New York Medical Marijuana Patients Cooperative, Cures-Not-Wars, DanceSafe, the Drug Reform Coordination Network, Marijuana Policy Project, NORML, Students for Sensible Drug Policy, and many more.

Featuring installation art about the Drug War created by a crew of more than 40 artists.

Music to be provided by: Drum Circle, DJ Chrome, DJ Cync, DJ Nigel, DJ Ness, Kid Lucky, King Manic, and special guests

You are invited to bring a picture and tell us what you got busted for. The Wall of War will have space for you and your story.

The fight to end the Drug War is the fastest growing movement in the United States.

Stop the Drug War before it stops you!

Peace!

Ana de Gama,
Mike Dee, and
