It\u2019s frustrating how far behind other cities Baltimore has fallen in building walkable, bikeable, transit friendly neighborhoods. It\u2019s often difficult to believe change is possible, that we can actually expand opportunity for residents while encouraging investment and growth.

Right now, City Council is working to pass Transform Baltimore, a much needed update to our antiquated zoning code that will promote walkable, bikeable, mixed use neighborhoods. We need your support to ensure harmful amendments that will set back our neighborhoods don\u2019t make it into the final bill.

Our New Advocacy Arm<\/p>\n
Our #IBikeIVote campaign was a tremendous success this primary season. But our members wanted more. You asked for candidate score cards, endorsements, and direct, critical or complimentary feedback on candidates and their platforms. Our 501(c)(3) status limited our ability to deliver on those requests. Now we can.<\/p>\n
Your financial support of Bikemore\u2019s new 501(c)(4) advocacy arm won\u2019t be tax-deductible, but it will allow Bikemore to be more direct in our influence. Our advocacy work will be far more effective, and our victories will be easier to obtain. <\/p>\n
We are moving away from the traditional membership model at Bikemore. Anyone invested in our mission will be considered a stakeholder in our work. Rather than spending staff time and resources tracking down member perks and schwag, we\u2019ll focus on policy and infrastructure wins\u2014which we believe to be the core reason anyone invests in Bikemore\u2019s work. In turn, we\u2019ll need people invested in our work to give, and to give significantly, to ensure we have the resources to deliver those wins.
