SUMMARY:League of American Bicyclists - League Cycling Advocate Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join your fellow bike advocates for a League-led bike advocacy workshop to help build a Bicycle Friendly America for Everyone!\n\n\nOverview \nThe League of American Bicyclists’ mission is to build a Bicycle Friendly America for Everyone\, improving lives and strengthening communities through bicycling. Our successes to date are thanks in part to the growing bike movement\, a network of changemakers leading at the national\, state\, and local levels. \nTo achieve even more wins for better biking that benefit everyone\, we must continue to grow this movement by empowering more people to be capable\, confident leaders and advocates in their communities. \nIn support of this goal\, the League is thrilled to announce that we have launched a new workshop for people to become certified as a League Cycling Advocate (LCA). Our next LCA workshop will take place July 24-26\, 2024 in Philadelphia\, PA. You can find a recap of our first LCA workshop\, which took place in March 2024 in Washington\, DC\, on the League blog here. \nWho Should Attend? \nThese advocacy workshops are open to anyone\, but space is limited and pre-registration is required. The workshop is geared toward emerging leaders\, advocates newly entering the bike movement\, and anyone else interested in gaining League certification as a bike advocate. \nWorkshop Content & Format \nThe workshop will be in-person and conducted over three days. The first day consists of an evening happy hour and group ride\, the second day includes a full day of training\, group ride\, and happy hour and the third day wraps up with a half day of training. \nThe workshop will cover advocacy basics such as the history of bike advocacy\, how to get organized\, effective political engagement\, making the case\, coalition building\, policy basics\, funding\, storytelling\, equity and mobility justice\, and more. \nThe content of the workshop will involve group work\, happy hours\, bike rides\, as well as individual self-guided readings which will be given to all participants ahead of the workshop. \nBy the end of the workshop and accompanying readings\, you will be equipped with the tools and training to implement the ideas\, strategies\, and practical applications in your communities that build the bike movement at the local level. \nLocal Host \nThe League is grateful to our local hosts for the July 2024 workshop\, the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia (BCGP). Through advocacy and education\, BCGP leads the movement to make every bicycle ride safe\, to empower youth and adults to ride\, and to foster a ridership that reflects the diversity of the Philadelphia region. They are helping us make this event successful by connecting us with local advocates\, guest speakers\, group rides\, bike joy\, and sharing lessons learned from their years of hard work. Consider supporting BCGP in that work by making a donation. \nCost \nThe cost of the workshop is $100 which includes one day of lunch and two days of snacks\, as well as the certification\, and all materials associated with the workshop. All other meals (breakfast\, dinners\, and both happy hours)\, and all travel and lodging will be at the expense of the attendee. There will be a limited number of partial scholarships available.
