CicLAvia and ARLA Team Up to Promote Climate Resilience in Los Angeles with Car-Free Street Event
CicLAvia is a non-profit organization that hosts car-free street events in Los Angeles, where people can come together to walk, bike, and explore their city. Their latest event, CicLAvia—Mid City meets Pico Union, is in partnership with Accelerate Resilience L.A. (ARLA) and local organizations dedicated to climate change resilience.
ARLA is a group of organizations committed to advancing climate resilience in Los Angeles. CicLAvia and ARLA have teamed up to promote community involvement in creating a greener future. The event aims to encourage individuals to take action towards climate resilience by exploring the route, collecting stamps in their ARLA Passport, and learning about each partner and their climate resilience activity.
Participants can get their ARLA Passport at the Mid City or Pico Union Info Booths and collect stamps from each partner. Once they have all 8 stamps, they can head over to the CicLAvia Info Booth at either end of the route to claim their FREE limited edition tote bag (limited to one per household, while supplies last).
The event partners include organizations such as the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust, which promotes equitable access to parks and community gardens in underserved neighborhoods, and TreePeople, which advocates for urban forestry and engages community members in planting and caring for trees.
Another partner is the Los Angeles Conservation Corps, which provides job training and education programs to young adults while also preserving natural resources and improving communities. Other partners include the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition, which advocates for cycling infrastructure and education, and the Trust for Public Land, which works to create parks and protected lands for communities to enjoy.
CicLAvia and ARLA believe that climate resilience is a community activity and that everyone has a role to play in creating a sustainable future. By participating in CicLAvia—Mid City meets Pico Union and engaging with the partner organizations, individuals can learn about practical steps they can take towards climate resilience in their community.
In conclusion, CicLAvia—Mid City meets Pico Union is an excellent opportunity for people to come together, explore their city, and learn about climate resilience. It is a positive step towards creating a greener future for Los Angeles, and everyone is invited to participate.
