Living Streets Alliance, a local biking and walking advocacy group, hosted a three-day Winning Campaigns Training workshop that attracted groups from Phoenix, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Washington D.C.
The workshop was put on by the Alliance for Biking and Walking, which provides training, coaching, grants and networking for a coalition of 198 advocacy organizations across North America.
The training is designed to help groups identify, organize and implement successful campaigns to benefit biking and walking in their communities.
Brighid O’Keane, a program manager with the Alliance who helped facilitate the Advocacy Advance Action 2020 Workshop in Tucson last September, returned to co-facilitate the Winning Campaigns Training.
“I’m inspired by the momentum of Living Streets Alliance,” O’Keane said. “I’m excited to return and build upon the relationships and collaborative work done with LSA during the Action 2020 workshop.”
To get involved with Living Streets Alliance, you can attend their next monthly Volunteer Work Night on Feb. 7 – details here.
