There won’t be a march for No Kings in New Orleans, so Critical Mass NOLA is filling the gap. Driving to the rally will be a headache with so many people converging on the Greenway in search of parking.Riding a bicycle will be the best way to get there!Let’s create a critical mass and ride together! We’ll gather on the Barracks Street side of the French Market at 2:00 pm, roll out at 2:30 pm, and take a 45-minute community ride through major streets—arriving at the No Kings rally around 3:15 p.m.Grease your chain, check your brakes, and let’s take the streets in defiance of the oligarchy and their billionaire agenda!*Critical Mass Nola is a volunteer-led, informal community ride. All participants ride at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety.#nokings #criticalmass #rideinpower #bikestrong #criticalmassnola #saferstreetsnow #bikenola #bikeequality #bikelifenola #peopleovercars #rideforjustice #nolabikelife #visionzero #streetsareforpeople #bikeadvocacy #datbikelife #nolalife #nolalifestyle #followyournola #onetimeandnola #showmeyournola #bike #nola #bicycle #neworleans #bikenola #bikelane #iheartnola

DC violent crimes rolling over 12 months with data through September as published by the FBI today (September data is probably slightly underreported right now). I don't really see any clear change in the city's pattern post-federal intervention.
