Please support Bikemore today!
From Chris Merriam via email
Dear friends,
As you know, I am Executive Director of Bikemore, Baltimore's bicycle advocacy group. We work to make Baltimore a place where people can comfortably ride a bicycle on city streets for fun, fitness, and transportation.
So, what does that mean, and what do we actually do?
- We have monthly meetings with the Baltimore City Department of Transportation (BCDOT) in which we monitor progress on a number of infrastructure and policy changes that we've advocated for
- We build relationships with elected representatives, community leaders, institutions, and other stakeholders around the city to engage them in the process of making our streets more friendly to people on bicycles
- We attend community meetings around the city to ensure that plans for roads and other public infrastructure are designed to serve people on bicycles
- We mobilize our supporters to weigh in on bicycle-related policy or infrastructure proposals, as necessary
- We work with Baltimore's larger bicycle community to build a culture of bicycling in Baltimore
- (Plus a lot more!)
And, of course, we raise money to fund all that work! It takes a group of professional advocates working (more than) full-time to accomplish these goals, and that's why we need your support today. We appreciate whatever you can afford to give, and whatever this advocacy is worth to you. All donations to Bikemore are fully tax-deductible through our fiscal sponsor, the Greater Homewood Community Corporation.
