Cover of the League of American Bicyclists' Bike Advocacy Toolkit: Grassroots Organizing and Mobilizing for Local Communities. The design is bright green and covered in hand-drawn illustrations of bike advocates in action: speaking out with a megaphone in hand, taking notes, attending meetings, riding bikes, and holding signs that say "20 is plenty," "Safe streets now," "Crash not accident," "Vision Zero," and "Safe Streets 4 All."

Table of contents of the Bike Advocacy Toolkit, including sections on people-centered advocacy, language, community organizing, strategic campaign planning, working with local government, budgeting, tools and resources, and a glossary. Download the guide at bikeleague.org/introducing-the-bike-advocacy-toolkit for access to the full text in the Table of Contents.

The Bike Advocacy Toolkit is here! A free resource for volunteer advocates (just $20 for nonprofits) to help you organize, build people-power, and win safer streets for everyone who bikes, walks, and rolls.

County Councilwoman at-large Bethany Hallam endorses Ed Gainey for re-election “Ed Gainey has turned our city around after generations of leaders who ignored us, failed us, and left us behind. He understands that a safe and thriving downtown depends on providing expanded social work, mental health and substance use treatment, transitional housing, and fully funded schools. He shows up for people who’ve never seen a politician show up for them, listens to them, gives them a seat at tables where decisions are made, fights, and delivers for us all.” Visit Gaineyformayor.com to join us today

County Councilwoman @bethanyhallam.bsky.social knows that I will always show up for people who’ve never seen a politician show up for them, listen to them, and give them a seat at tables where decisions are made.
