RightRides Update

With another rape in Williamsburg, the mission of RightRides becomes more and more relevant, but they need your help to get going.

Here's a word-for-word message that's been circulating:

Subject: RightRides.org - calling all cars!

Last night, Teri Muroff and I met the RightRides women, Oraia and Consuelo. They are FABULOUS and very well organized for a small startup program. They already have a ton of volunteers but alas, no one has a car! If you know someone who'd be willing to lend their car, and/or volunteer with their car, please pass this email round and round!

There's a website which will tell you all about this important initiative which will help Greenpoint and Williamsburg women feel a little bit safer when going home (particularly late at night), and has all the contact info you need:

If you'd like to meet Oraia and Consuelo, come to the 94th Precinct Community Council meeting this Monday/October 18 at 7:30pm, at the Greenpoint Savings Bank on Calyer Street, off Manhattan Ave. They'll also make a presentation at the CB1 meeting on November 9 but please, if you already know you're interested, get in touch with them before then.
