Vote by Mouse Click to Get Funding for Cycles of Change & Bret Harte Middle School (East Oakland)
Want to help Cycles of Change and the young cyclists of Oakland with just a few clicks? ‘Course you do. As for how, it’s simple:
Brighter Planet donates money to organizations based on votes from you, the Internet public. If Cycles of Change is one of the top vote-getters this month, then they’ll get $5,000. Pretty sweet, right?
The project you’re voting to fund is Cycles of Change’s work at Bret Harte Middle School in East Oakland. This bicycle education/distribution project gives kids from low-income families the opportunity to earn their own bicycles, learn safe riding skills, and go on exciting bike adventures. Participants learn basic bike mechanics, engage in service projects (such as community gardening and creek restoration), and rebuild a recycled bike to use as their own sustainable transportation.
Here’s the best part: you get three votes at Brighter Planet. You can spread them around or use them all for one project! Personally, I voted three times for Cycles of Change – once for the kids, once for Cycles of Change, and once for the love of cycling. And since November is all about voting, here’s a great opportunity to do some! To vote for Cycles of Change, click here.
