Are you tired of talking about “the system” and ready to do something about it?
Are you looking for a way to fight the onslaught of corporate globalization beyond summit hopping and buying fair trade?

Root Force is a strategic campaign designed to exploit weak points in the global economy and hasten the system’s collapse. Using direct action, Root Force pressures all those involved in specific infrastructure construction projects in Latin America to end their participation in ecocide and genocide.

The Watsonville Community Bike Shack will begin our weekly sessions every Friday from 3-7PM at the Brown Beret Headquarters (406 Main St., Suite 408A — Behind Ritmo Latino). We will be fixing bikes at a very low cost (no one turned away for lack of funds). Bring your bike and learn how to fix it with our tools and space! We will also very soon start a campaign to give away bicycles to students and farmworkers. The Watsonville Community Bike Shack is for the people, by the people. We are a collective of different community members who have teamed up with the Santa Cruz Bike Church. If you would like more info or would like to get involved, write to brownberets [at] msn.com.
