Help Put Bike Lights in the Hands of
Our Neighbors!
We’re working with a small activist group in Bonita that is organizing an effort to provide bike lights to vulnerable community members. For people who rely on bicycles for transportation, a missing or inadequate bike light can become a reason for a traffic stop and, in some circumstances, an encounter with immigration enforcement. You can help by purchasing bike lights directly from their Gift List (Amazon): https://share.google/5mbjFiwxvZzh83lIr
A simple bike light can make a real difference in helping someone get home safely.
Born from a cross-partisan coalition of neighbors, veterans, retirees, and faith communities, this is a "revival" of hope, solidarity, and shared civic responsibility. Hosted by Floridians for Democracy and Mount Olive A.M.E. Church. Register (in person or virtual) with QR or click here.
