CALL TO ACTION: WORLD CAR-FREE DAYS 2002!

It's coming! It's coming! World Car-Free Days is less than a 
month away. All that's needed now is for you or your group to 
plan and take action. People from Catalonia to Cameroon, from 
Tajikistan to Texas will be joining together for two weeks of 
actions and events calling for an end to the hundred-year reign of 
the automobile—"Fifteen Days to End the Auto 
Age"—September 13-27.

You have lots of flexibility in the style, target, timing and theme 
of your action or event (see 
<http://www.carbusters.org/carfreeday> for the two-week 
schedule). But in order to make World Car-Free Days the 
massive success it deserves to be, three things are needed now:

• groups to make plans and register their events at 
<http://www.carbusters.org/carfreeday> so we can tell the 
international media what's going on (and chase up reports after 
the event);

• people to spread the word via word of mouth, via listserves 
and web sites, to the media, and directly to the public (on-line 
we have downloadable press releases and posters, as well as 
logos you can put on your homepage with a link to the World 
Car-Free Days web site); and

• self-proclaimed autoholics to step forward, make a Car-Free 
Pledge and follow our Autoholics Anonymous programme over 
the two-week period.

Above all, anyone considering action of any kind should contact 
Car Busters (carbusters at ecn.cz) as soon as possible. Thanks, 
and good luck with your plans!
