Today's picks for civic nerds.

By Carryn Vande Griend May 10, 2013

Today's picks for civic nerds.

For Sunday

Morals and the Internet

Internet-democracy advocate Evengy Morozov, author of To Save Everything, Click Here, will host a conversation about the moral implications of Internet usage. With the ability to control, monitor, and quantify consumer behavior, how far is too far when it comes to privacy on the web? Morozov will discuss the impacts the Internet, and digital tracking, has had on politics, culture, consumerism and public debate.

Evgeny Morozov: The Moral Consequences of Digital Technologies, Sun, May 12, 7:30-9pm, Town Hall, 1119 8th Ave, $5

For Tomorrow

Run Against Human Trafficking

Take action against the human trafficking by participating in World Concern's 5th Annual Free Them 5K and 10K.  Register for the run/walk event today to fight back against human trafficking of women and children worldwide. Last year's event drew 2,000 participants and raised $142,000 for World Concern's anti-trafficking programs. 

Free Them 5K/10K, Sat, May 11, 9:30am, World Concern, 19303 Fremont Ave N, $15-$35 to register. 

Students & Sprouts

Getting the itch to garden? Pick up all your starter plant needs at the annual Orca Plant Sale. Organic veggies (including 20 varieties of tomatoes), herbs, natives, fruit bushes are all on sale, most of them grown by the students at Orca K-8 School. All proceeds benefit the school, and all unsold produce will go to local school gardens, food banks, and community groups. 

Orca K-8 School Plant Sale, Sat May 11, 10am-3pm, Orca K-8 School, 5215 46th Ave S, free.

And For Today

A Bike Break

Bike month continues with Commute Seattle's third annual Bikes and Bagels event. Bike over to McGraw Square downtown between 7am and 9am to score some bagels, coffee and prizes—and snap a quick picture with your biking buddies at the Met Pages team photo booth.

Bikes and Bagels, Fri, May 10, 7am-9am,, McGraw Square, 5th Ave & Stewart St, free.
