Help us expand in 2011 to reach more low-income folks on bikes!

We are recruiting passionate volunteers to help us grow City of Lights’ efforts and be a part of our team!

By now, you’ve kept tabs on our program through our blog, and as an engaged and/or interested community member, we want to invite you to be a part of our project! Our collective of volunteers does a lot of exciting work reaching out to immigrant Latino cyclists, from getting more Spanish language safety workshops, to the BiciDigna bike repair co-op at a day labor center, to bike rides with soccer games, to more bike lanes and parking in Central LA. Though we’re a small group, we’ve managed to accomplish so much through volunteer power!

We do this work because we recognize that bikes are used as transportation by low-income communities already and we believe we can build a movement to create more social equity in these and other marginalized communities in need throughout LA.We need people of all backgrounds and skillsets–anything from mechanic skills, to grant writing, to campaigns, to public speaking, and of course, ideally, Spanish speakers!  Meetings are once a month and we will be having an upcoming retreat, in early February. Now is a great time to join and participate and make your ideas and passions known!

If you are interested, email allison@la-bike.org or call the LACBC office at: 213-629-2142.
