Protest TOMORROW, 3/18, 6PM, Copley Square Back Bay millionaires want to remove the Boylston St. Bus lane, negatively impacting 20,000 bus riders. Demolition is scheduled to begin Tues at 7pm. Be there to stop it.
Back Bay millionaires want to remove the Boylston Street bus lane, and Mayor Wu is letting that happen. Demolition begins Tuesday at 7pm, and 20,000 daily bus riders will suffer. We're here to stop that. You deserve to get to work safely. Don't let the city tear apart critical infrastructure. Bring your bikes, bring your signs, bring yourself and a friend. Boston will not be bought.

Disturbing trend. This is not caused by adding bike lanes in Boston.

Good thing the roads were salted and plowed or else we wouldn't have anywhere else to walk.

Hey there! Glad to find a new digital space. We abandoned our Twitter account back when a person who runs a car company took it over. In these times it is important to act locally and stick together. Help us promote the car free life we all deserve.
Just a minute action where we keep a protected lane for cyclists when drivers park in the bike lane.

But hang a sharp left onto Charles River Road, back toward Boston and into stuff like this!

Car Free commute.. took a detour to check out the Watertown Greenway. It almost gets you to Watertown Sq where you get dumped into a 5-way, 23 lane intersection. #CarFree #CarFreeLife

How about we make all the Boston Open Streets locations car free every day? @wutrain, let's permanently expand car free zones in Boston.

If you want to see Riverbend park open up again on Saturdays come out to our next protest ride. This Saturday, July 15, roll out at 11 am. facebook.com/events/s/take-back-mem…

Who's streets? @MassDCR won't open Riverbend park so we did. Join us next Saturday to do it again.

We are planning a short, symbolic ride along Memorial Drive this Saturday, July 8, to imagine what it will be like when it is closed to cars again on Saturdays. Meet at JFK park at 10:45 am. We're going to ride together and take a lane. Then gather at a park and share snacks.

We're launching a new awareness campaign about how terrible SUVs are. It is a public service announcement. carfreeboston.org/our-2023-campaigns

Look who we just met at JP Open Streets! Local bicycling advocacy legends, @EricaMattison and @LeeToma ! We got to talk about the growing car free movements around the worls and shared a moment of joy on a car free street.

Come on out to JP Open Streets today. Get a taste of what your city would feel like free from cars! #OpenStreetsBoston #JPOpenStreets We're hanging with our friends from @xrboston at Centre St and St. John. Get some stickers, handouts and hear about our plans for 2023.

Someone shared this with us just now - a celebration of the opening of the GLX bike path tonight! Not sure exactly where this is but hopefully not too hard to find.

Just got our confirmation for participating in Open Streets on June 25! See you there and leave that car at home.

Yes this is a bike lane in East Somerville. .. if you squint you can still barely make out the remnants of some magic green paint. That community path can't open soon enough.

The Wake up the Earth Bike Parade for Climate Resilience is tomorrow!. The festival is a celebration of a community that came together to stop a highway from destroying their neighborhood. Now we need to stop a climate catastrophe from destroying all neighborhoods.

Went to the @xrboston climate protest today and filled the streets with people and music, which even for a short time felt amazing. The city would be so much better without cars and this would begin to slow CO2 pollution. Go car free and set yourself and the Earth free.

What's your excuse for delaying bold action on climate? Which ones do you hear often? What are some of your best arguments against these? www.leolinne.com/?portfolio=discour…

Is civilization worth saving? Maybe.. but what if we had to give up our SUVs?

FYI, streets in Cambridge have been nicely plowed, car traffic is flowing unimpeded by the snow.

Probably many well-meaning people bought Teslas thinking they were doing their part to save the planet. People even said the whole project was "jujitsu" to solve climate catastrophe. How do people feel about owning a Tesla now?

We're here for a car free Boston but maybe we can start with car free bike lanes?

Thanks to everyone for.comimg out for the #WorldCarFreeDay rebel ride with @XRBoston! Hope y'all had fun imagining what a car free Boston could be like. And bikes are such a great way to get different communities to hang together!

Car Free Boston @carfreeboston.org · 22/09/2022
Due to predicted rain and thunderstorms, the #WorldCarFreeDay rebel ride will be postponed to tomorrow, Friday, Sept 23, 5:30, Copley Sq. (day 2 of the 365 days of car free day). You can still not drive a car today and celebrate with us tomorrow night to kick-off car free weekend

Some great ideas for improving the safety of streets in Somerville.

Found some affinity while postering for the World Car Free Ride on Sept 22. We're just one week away now! Will we see you there? And even if you can't make it you can still be car free that day. actionnetwork.org/events/world-car-…

New flyer for World Car Free Day! We'll be joining with celebrations in 50 countries and over 1,000 cities on Thursday, Sept 22. "Turn Left"

We're celebrating in Boston this year, Sept 22, Copley Sq. 5:30 PM. Bring a bike, a scooter, a skateboard, one of those one wheeled hoverboard things... and good vibes.

Great action this morning with @bostonbikeunion for protected bike lanes on Charles St. Nonviolent direct action is the way to get things done! Be the change.

Hope y'all are getting psyched for open streets, starting next week in JP! We're planning on being there with some stickers! And to talk about reducing car dependence, the impact of cars on climate and what we can do about it.

Car Free Boston @carfreeboston.org · 06/05/2022
Who made these awesome stickers? And where can we get some?

Based on the latest IPCC, which clearly states we are very close to being completely f-ed unless we make dramatic changes in the next 3-4 years. The science: "Individual potential to reduce emissions is highest in mobility systems."

After being inspired by Berlin's push to ban cars, it was time to brush up on German.

At some point we won't be able to continue destroying our planet because we will no longer have the means. Will any of us be left? Will we invent new ways to shoot ourselves in the foot? #IdaAftermath #ExxonKnew

In some parts of the city there are already more bikes than cars. (But still way too many cars)

The presumed president elect won't ban fracking so there is little hope he will ban cars. That means it is up to us!

@BeyondPump has been campaigning for several years to get climate catastrophe warning labels placed on gas pumps. And there is an effort to pass this in Cambridge. Read more: ourhorizon.org/think-beyond-the-pump

Some inspiration for you all. In 1996, Reclaim the Streets did a direct action where they planted trees in the middle of the road.
