From BikeTexas:

We are proud to be a part of the Texas Coalition for State Parks, a group of 90 organizations educating voters about the Centennial Parks Conservation Fund — Proposition 14 — on the ballot this fall.

Make sure you’re registered to vote here, and learn more about Prop 14 here.
From around Texas:

From elsewhere:

Do you have an idea for making your city safer for pedestrians? America Walks’ Community Change Grant application is open until October 9.
Check out the one-year report on the Intersections Initiative, a program between the League of American Bicyclists, America Walks, and the Safe Routes Partnership. The Intersections Initiative intends to make federal programs for walking and biking infrastructure in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law more approachable for community leaders and local governments.
Have a great weekend!
