L.A. Streetsblog Fundraiser at LAEV Friday April 9th

ok - so the flier I designed is way tooo dark!

If you live, breathe, walk, bike and/or work in greater Los Angeles, then you should read Los Angeles Streetsblog. It’s an invaluable resource on the latest news about green transportation and urban livability. It’s part of a larger network that makes positive change in cities throughout the nation. Take for example, this Streetfilm about Los Angeles Eco-Village, or this one on L.A.’s Bike Wrenching Co-ops (including the Bike Kitchen, which got its start at LAEV.)

And if you read L.A. Streetsblog, then you’ll want to come and support it. Ron Milam, Deborah Murphy, Ivy London, Julia Russell and I are hosting a fundraiser for L.A. Streetsblog coming up in two weeks – Friday April 9th 2010 to be exact. There are lots of details here; you can rsvp via facebook here – or just plan to show up. It’s a suggested donation $25, but it’s really pay-what-you-feel-moved-to.
