EYCEJ’s Ride on All Roads (ROAR) is a bicycle program developed by the organization’s youth leadership. ROAR focuses on activities that promote pedestrian and bicycle needs in the truck-dense I-710 corridor communities. Through advocacy and direct action, EYCEJ youth are promoting community heath and safety where they live, learn, work, and play.
The photo above is of our youth members that met at Bell Gardens High School to ride more than 16 miles along the LA River trail to Progress Park in Paramount, where the first I-710 Project Committee (PC) meeting of the year was being held. East Yard youth attended the PC meeting in order to advocate for the community benefits of Community Alternative 7, which include improvements to pedestrian and bicycle infrastructures along the I-710 Corridor.
Join us as we ride down the LA River Re-Membering stories of fights against environmental racism and other forms of injustice in our communities along the LA River.
Throughout the ride we will re-member sites like Belvedere Park, East LA, Sleepy Lagoon, Fwy divisons, rail yards, and discuss the historical significance to communities of color as sites of resistance and push for survival.
Because we live in these communities, we know that the fight still continues. For this reason, we will highlight work being done to address injustice across the river.
We will tell stories.
We will revisit sites.
We will Re-member.
We will Organize.
