Over the past two years, I’ve worked as an outreach coordinator for the Brita Climate Ride.
Last year, a hundred cyclists biked from New York City to Washington DC, raising money for Focus the Nation and Clean Air – Cool Planet. The ride ended with a rally by the steps of the Capitol building, and over half of the riders then visited their elected officials and lobbied for action on climate change. I spoke with aids to Senator Barbara Boxer, Senator Diane Feinstein, and Congresswoman Barbara Lee.
Climate Ride will be back this year this year, and so will I. I am fundraising for the ride, and you can donate here. Every little bit helps.
