Hi Friend,
Before we head into 2026 (yikes, already?!?!), we are looking forward to getting festive with y’all! This email is formatted a little differently than usual - we only have a couple of critical things to put on your radar before the year comes to a close. There won’t be a community meeting this month, so the holiday parade (and post-parade "thaw out") is our last opportunity to see everyone this year. We also have some important Save the Dates for 2026. And please don't forget our end-of-year appeal to support our organizing and advocacy agenda. Read on for everything you need to know!

Holiday Parade - Saturday, Dec. 13th
|
Riding in the holiday parade is one of our favorite annual traditions. Join us next Saturday, Dec. 13th! We'll be meeting at the intersection of Ramseur & Dillard streets at 9am and rolling out for the parade at 10am - afterwards we'll be having a ~thaw out~ at ReCity with warm bevs and bagels for folks. Come hang!

You spoke, we listened. After hosting community input sessions dedicated to hearing what y'all want us to focus our advocacy and organizing efforts on for 2026, we have put together an overview of our priorities for the next year. Check it out here!
We're also about two-thirds of the way to our fundraising goal for the year, which is $35,000. As a nonprofit, a substantial amount of our operating costs, staff salaries, etc., are covered by fundraising, so if you'd like us to keep doing the work we're doing, consider donating to our End-of-Year fundraiser. As a bonus, some of our major donors have committed to matching the first $11k we raise before the end of the year, so it's a great time to donate.

Despite many challenges for sustainable transit, street safety, and the environment under the current administration, this was a huge year for us. We are so grateful for all that we accomplished this year with you all. Thank you for making 2025 amazing.
We'll see you in 2026 - save the dates!
