Times Up!, a 20-year-old nonprofit environmental group, has been promoting nonpolluting transportation, saving community gardens, and empowering communities to work together for a sustainable future. Times Up! has been continuously fighting for the environment and your right to assemble. Now is your time to take ownership over your rights and freedoms in the city. Oppose the city's new regulations and help resist the restrictions being imposed on nonpolluting transportation and your right to assemble.


Hope to see y'all out there! Thanks, and please forward widely.
