Sometimes decision makers can’t be convinced; they have to be replaced. This workshop is for everyone who is or wants to be involved in electoral politics, whether as a candidate or an activist supporting a candidate.
Ride On All Roads (ROAR) was developed by youth leaders to address the lack of bike infrastructure and safe passageways for folks who depend on their bikes to get around. These rides spurred residents to conduct their own community-based research on some of the environmental justice issues they saw in their neighborhoods. That helped lead to the creation of our newest annual bike mobilization: The West Long Beach Bike Toxic Tour. This panel will discuss the history and narrative behind these formative movements in hopes of inspiring other community members to harness their power and create actions that center their stories.
California’s primary funding source for biking and walking has provided over $1 billion to more than 700 projects in its six years of existence. This panel will look forward to the program’s potential to fund projects that serve as a junction for community needs and model active transportation projects. Are transformative projects more likely to increase walking and biking?
