No, the Durham Bike Co-op is a mix of people from various political backgrounds,
and we like to stay away from lobbying issues due to our non-profit status.
We have a Durham Bike and Ped group that tends to be more politically involved,
and mainly for bike trail/lane infrastructure.
If I was to do something with any protest movement, I would do it independently
of my role as a board member at a co-op.
Best,
Leslie

speaking for my self and not the bicycle kitchen in los angeles i have been at the occupation several times in the last weak and have helped out with fixing a couple of bikes also one of our "cooks" has move out of his apartment and into the occupation.
but the kitchen per-sey has a policy of not being political due to our non-profit (education mission)
i will take the time to advocate for an action to be taken buy everyone on this list.
open a credit union account both for your co-op and your personal banking, and
DUMP YOUR BANK.

Many of our volunteers are involved and are curious if we are planning to do so as an organization so we are sending out feelers.Thank you!Ellie JonesMoBo--
