Kids Bike Ride for Change
In recent weeks, we have been wanting to help during the Black Lives Matter movement. With young children at home, we are participating in peaceful demonstrations and talking about race and injustices. But we wanted to do more.
This thought led us to an idea in which children could help the cause.
Our kids love to bike! We think others may want to join us (in person and virtually) as we bike for 8.46 miles in remembrance of George Floyd, and so many others who have died tragically at the hands of police officers. The bike ride will take place in our small town in Vermont on Sunday, June 28, 2020.
We are asking for donations in the amount equal to the mileage that we bike: $8.46
We believe that by doing something positive and active with children, we can continue the anti-racism conversation and help to bring about change.
All funds raised will be donated to The Conscious Kid, a 501(c)3 non-profit. The Conscious Kid is an education, research and policy organization dedicated to reducing bias and promoting positive identity development in youth. They partner with organizations, children’s museums, schools, and families across the country to promote access to children’s books centering underrepresented and oppressed groups.
