NEED YOUR SUPPORT!!!
https://www.ioby.org/project/rides-transform-communities

Slow Roll Chicago, the Chicago Sustainability Leaders Network, and a number of our community partners are making a huge push to raise $3,125 (stretch goal = $5,000) by next Friday, April 10. We are raising the funds to support our "Sustainable September" Ride Series coming up this season. The funds will be used for outreach materials, safety equipment, bike repair kits, loaner set of helmets & lights, and refreshments.

The purpose of the ride series is to align missions in order to connect communities and sustainability organizations across Chicago. With each community partner reaching out to their local community partners and planning a route specific to sustainability in their community, the series will showcase the components of sustainability across geographically, culturally, and racially diverse neighborhoods in Chicago. Through riding and creating spaces to promote collaboration between and awareness of community sustainability initiatives, we aim to empower individuals and communities to see themselves in new, different ways. We aim to enable people to have greater control over their transportation and leisure. Ultimately, we aim to equitably share our roads, reduce dependence on energy, and promote community resilience as a value in itself and as a response to climate change.

We cordially ask for your support at any level possible, no amount is too small. Please donate here:
