Since I am at work and missing today's protest at the Russian Embassy in SF, consider this as my virtual Free Pussy Riot Protest, featuring some of my bike gal pals, looking a bit anti-establishmentarian. Ya with me?
Mikaela says "Free the Pussies!"
We ride in solidarity with punk chycks taking a stand against the status quo - with Melyssa and Mikaela.
Wherever you live, wherever you go, I firmly believe we are entitled to our freedom of expression.
Whether in the United States, or in Russia.
Ride on Riot Grrls... in solidarity!
For this 40 second act of political protest, the three members of the Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in prison.
For more information about the verdict, check out this report from the Guardian.
And if you go out on the streets to protest this injustice, be careful out there.
Today I received a request to delete this post because someone in one of the photos did not want to be associated with its content.
My apologies to whomever was offended by this post. Vélo Vogue has never claimed to be a "journalistic" blog, and should be considered strictly as entertainment/opinion. I've removed the photos of people who attended the punk rock themed bike party (at least the photos of people who are not my friends who also support the Pussy Riot), but I will not delete this post because it merely expresses my personal belief that the members of the Pussy Riot should not be incarcerated for their protest. I have a right to my own opinions and beliefs, and this blog is one of the places where I will continue to express these opinions and beliefs.
