We need your help to find Time's Up! a new home! Our space at 49 E. Houston Street has been sold and we are currently searching for a new space that will allow us to continue our indoor meetings, events, movies and bike workshops.

We will be having monthly meetings every second Monday at 7 pm to organize efforts to find a new space--please join us if you'd like to help. If you have any ideas or leads, email timesupspace@gmail.com.

On Friday, September 21, 2007, more than 20 groups reclaimed parking spots all over New York City and turned them into creative community parks in recognition of Park(ing) Day—an annual, global event where artists, activists, and citizens collaborate to temporarily transform metered parking spots into public parks known as park(ing) spaces.

Time’s Up! and Green Map invited everyone to celebrate the day at “7th Haven,” our park(ing) space in front of Birdbath Green Bakery on 7th Ave and Charles Street in the West Village from 8am-6pm. We had chairs, lemonade, and shade set up so folks could stop by and relax.

BEST ACTIVIST ORGANIZATION ON TWO WHEELS - TIME'S UP
Sometimes you can gauge a gadfly's success by the backlash it creates. Drivers don't much care for members of Time's Up, especially when they're stuck behind the wheel as phalanxes of bicyclists cruise by during Critical Mass rallies (the last Friday of every month). Police don't much care for them either (remember that most traffic cops drive all day), and NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly has tried to push through draconian protest rules that would have kept two or more bicyclists from riding together. All this only proves the effectiveness of the environmental-awareness group's in-your-face m.o. Time's Up encourages New Yorkers to get around on bikes or skates by showing us how wasteful and inconvenient it can be to navigate the city in a carbon-monoxide-spewing car... read more

TIME'S UP! AND NYC CRITICAL MASS WIN IN PIVOTAL LEGAL CASE:
On 2/14/2006 State Judge Stallman rebuffs City of NY in its war against cyclists and First Amendment rights. Read our Press Release.

This is a victory for the TIME'S UP! environmental group and anyone (you?) supposedly acting in concert with us! Victory on all counts:

• The right to assemble, in public parks, of more than twenty people, without a permit.
• The right to advertise or promote any event or action, even those deemed illegal by the City.
• The right to ride your bicycle in a group without a permit. (ex. Critical Mass)

Judge Stallman not only denied all these requests from the City, but in his 23-page decision he meticulously explained why every ruling listed above was perfectly legal and why the defendants, Time's Up! did not need to apply for a permit for either riding bicycles or assembling in public parks. The decision is amazingly well-written in our favor and will set a precedent for the future of New York City, especially the bicycling community. This is a victory not only for Time's Up! but for the First Amendment rights of all New Yorkers.

We've established the TIME'S UP! Bike Legal Defense Fund (which is now defending the freedoms of speech and assembly as well as bikes). You can donate securely to:
