SUNDAY / Prison blues: Louisiana leads the way in per capita incarceration in the United States, which leads in the world. Incarceration of young people in Louisiana is so common that it has earned its own nickname, “The School to Prison Pipeline.” Family and Friends of Louisiana’s Incarcerated Children, a statewide organization that fights for a better life for Louisiana’s children and advocates for those at risk in the pipeline, is hosting a 5K for Social Justice Sunday, October 7. Enjoy the cool weather and sunshine to support the youths who can’t. Sunday, Registration at 8 AM, $20/adult, Audubon Park.

SUNDAY / Bi-line: This Sunday, Bike Easy is sponsoring a bicycle second line ending at Gentilly Fest. Not only do paid cyclists get a t-shirt and refreshments, but they get a safe 8 mile ride escorted by the Pocket Aces Brass Band on what promises to be a cool, beautiful weekend. In case you’re still not convinced, the group is stopping for a mid-way rest at Daddy’s Donuts. Anyone can participate. Donations go towards Bike Easy, an organization dedicated to making biking safer in New Orleans. Sunday, 10 AM-12 PM, $25 suggested donation/adult rider, ride starts at Ponchartrain Park.
