CommonWheels Stands with #BlackLives Matter

Folks,

We at CommonWheels are incredibly saddened by the unfolding events in America this past week. We want to tell you unequivocally that CommonWheels stands with Black Lives Matter against police brutality, and the murder and oppression of our citizens. Our mission is to use the bicycle as a tool that empowers all people to be more self-reliant, healthy, and connected to their community. We at CommonWheels have made the conscious effort to work with marginalized communities in Allston-Brighton, from low-income families, to recent immigrants, to unhoused families, and help them use the bicycle as a tool for empowerment, and we will continue to support our neighbors in any way possible. Our community is so diverse and wonderful and our programming and open shops are designed to uplift that and bring us all positive change. We advocate for bicycles as a healthy tool for our neighbors to enrich their lives, and provide opportunities for work and life and we will continue to support our community as these events unfold.

We are including a list of resources to help educate you in this conflict and we hope that you folks will help us help our neighbors.

There are many ways to support the struggle, and while we encourage you all to stay safe, we have included a link to the Mass Bail Fund and we urge you to not only donate money to causes like this but please call your politicians to urge a meaningful and peaceful resolution to this crisis.

Stay strong, keep looking out for each other, and see you on the streets!
