From the organizers:
“Freewheels presents: Total Denial!

Hurray! Cars have been banned from 4 boroughs of NYC! You can drive in Staten Island if you really want to! The roads are safe and tree-lined! We’ve torn down the parking garages and built community gardens! We grow organic produce there! It’s delicious! It’s free! Norman Siegel is  the mayor of New York! The NYPD has been disbanded! No one’s in jail! Except Bloomberg, Kelly, and Smolka!
And Ratner! They’re fixing bicycles! There’s bike parking everywhere! You don’t have to lock up! No one steals bikes! Everyone has a bike! They’re free! So is healthcare! And housing! And everyone recycles! And Santa Claus is real! So is the Tooth Fairy! They’re here! And there’s no more TV! Just parties! Like this one! Hurray! Let’s dance!”
