‼️ Walkable, safe, and accessible communities are at stake in 2026. 🌟 America Walks trains advocates, educates the public, and builds a national movement to stand up to the highway lobbyists. But we need your help. Donate today to help us build the #walkability movement! ➡️ buff.ly/E8gjzgW

What we do in 2026 will matter for years to come. The walkability movement is up against a lot... America Walks works to empower a national network to advocate for funding the safe, walkable infrastructure communities want and need. Consider donating: buff.ly/ABbkxOf

Walkable communities are healthier, safer, and better for local businesses... so why do our streets still prioritize speed over people? Because the road-building lobby spent $267 million lobbying on transportation in one year — and politicians listened. 💰🛣️

Safe streets don't build themselves. 👟🌟 The road-building lobby spent $267M last year to get what they want. That's what we're up against. America Walks wins because we believe in 'people power' to create safer, more walkable streets and communities for all. Donate today: buff.ly/ABbkxOf

Turn danger into safety. 🚸 Turn inaction into change. 👟 Every dollar you give to America Walks has an immediate impact on safer, more walkable communities. 🌟 $15 empowers advocates fighting for safer streets 🌟 $25 helps neighbors identify dangerous walking conditions through a walk audit

Supporting America Walks means supporting community-led change that makes our streets safer. When you give, you’re not just supporting a program... You’re sparking understanding. You’re fueling change. You’re making communities better. Donate today! ➡️ buff.ly/ERl0UTo

super interesting for me to hear how much people responded to Alissa and tried to push back about the percentage of nondrivers. I get the sense that a lot of people in the transportation space won't engage with me because they think that high a percentage of nondrivers can't possibly be real.

Reflections on last week's #WeekWithoutDriving in a city that still refuses to acknowledge the existence of its nondrivers — which a comprehensive new report claims make up one-third of LA's population
