Hello nice people,
We’re trying it out here. Now we’re not here to stay in our own echo chamber. We’re an advocacy group.
What we want and need is to spread the word out on liveable cities, streets for people of all ages and abilities, school streets etc. We need to show people everybody benefits from people friendly spaces, healthier, more inclusive environnement.
If you like what we post, relay our message beyond the #OttBike circle.
We’re learning here. Thank you for your help. 🚲

This is a big one, I hope you'll read it. I spent months following one of the first people forced to give birth thanks to Dobbs and the fall of Roe v Wade. Lationna Halbert wanted another child, but not under these circumstances. Now she faces an extreme risk of poverty, debt, and having to put her life's dreams on hold in Mississippi, a state that ranks dead last in how much support it offers pregnant people and new parents. https://inthesetimes.com/article/dreams-deferred-for-women-and-children-in-a-post-dobbs-era-abortionrights-medicaid-childtaxcredit-childcare-paidleave
