Next Week: For Ride With Purpose #8, we'll be celebrating Mumia Abu-Jamal's 70th birthday. He's spent over 42 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Still, he's kept fighting for the freedom of black lives, Palestinians, and others who've been oppressed by an unjust system.
Meet-Up: We'll be meeting at Valade Park (2670 Atwater St) on the Detroit River. We'll hang there for about 30 minutes to chat and learn more about Mumia.
Bike route: Then at 6:30pm, we'll embark on a 6-mile bike ride. Our route will take us up the river, under the McArthur Bridge, NE on Grand Blvd to the Heidelberg Project, then back to Valade via the Campau Greenway.
Action: While we ride, we'll stop every so often to take pictures for Mumia. The pictures will be used to create a photobook that we'll send to him — photos that'll remind him of the people still fighting for his freedom.
