Cyclist Rides Cross-Country for Civil Rights w/Teddy Bloom
Ride4Rights: A Bike Protest Across America
Teddy, a Santa Fe local, started his ride April 20th. His bicycle ride began at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California, and culminates at the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. Along the way, he invites other riders to join him in his stops at state capitals and other key locations across the country.
The ride serves as a peaceful protest against the heightened polarization and divisiveness in today’s American political landscape. Teddy’s aim is to:
- Elevate the importance of free speech
For centuries, the United States of America has been a pillar of the sharing of new ideologies freely without the fear of persecution. The ability to share political opinions and protest without the fear of retaliation and/or political imprisonment is vital to American culture.
- Advocate for equal justice under the law
All people on American soil have the right to the U.S. justice system regardless of citizenship status. This includes, but is not limited to, a speedy fair trial and access to a lawyer. The incarceration of any arrested person should take place within a facility inside U.S. borders that is subject to federal and/or state regulations.
- Highlight the importance of education on how our government function
Teaching the American populace about the history, purpose, and validity of their federal institutions. In addition, discussing the state of institutions and how they are currently operating.
- Foster unity across diverse communities
In an era where misinformation and outside entities are trying to divide and weaken the United States of America, it is important we find common ground and try to build a better nation for ourselves and those who come after us.
