Did You Know?

Nearly five children are hit by people driving every day in Illinois while walking or biking within one block of a school.

Come celebrate your part in the movement

 

 

Come out and celebrate the year’s accomplishments, meet fellow members, and offer a round of applause for our advocate and volunteer awardees.

The movement has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years, and there are many wins to recognize and celebrate together.

New this year, we’ll be hosting a panel discussion with advocacy partners who will share their experience working on some of 2024’s biggest campaigns, with advice and tips for advocates looking to win change in their communities. Panelists include:

  • Charlie Saxe, from Suburban Advocates for Safe Streets, will be speaking about a new coalition of north/northwest suburban advocates
  • The McKinley Park Development Council’s Eladio Montenegro will be speaking about community-led street assessments/audits
  • Rony Islam, from Chicago Bike Grib Now!, will be speaking about the North DuSable Lake Shore Drive coalition work
