Help send our Director to the Summit!

We need your support to send Cynthia Rose to Bike Summit 2014.
National funding has a huge impact on local bike projects, and this year the Transportation Bill is up for renewal. It’s time to push our lawmakers to prioritize active transportation funding. The Summit also includes the second annual National Women’s Bicycling Forum, a showcase of great ways to get more women on bikes.

Santa Monica Spoke is led by 100% volunteers, including our full time Director Cynthia Rose. The Summit is the premier national bike conference, gathering advocates from around the country to lobby for bikes on Capitol Hill. We are requesting donations to cover costs to send Cynthia to the Summit 2014.

Our goal is to raise $1500.00 to cover the Women’s Forum, National Bike Summit, and travel expenses. PLEASE PLEDGE YOUR SUPPORT Click HERE
or email your pledge amount to Donate2@SMSpoke.org  we will reply to complete the pledge. Donations are tax deductible. 

The voice for cycling is growing stronger on Capitol Hill, and with your support, our director can share lessons learned and gain experience in professional advocacy from top experts from all 50 states and bring it home to Santa Monica & LA County.
