We're excited to be joined by D3 Councilmember Fife, who will welcome attendees and provide opening remarks. After the screening, WOBO President Chris Hwang will host a discussion with safe streets advocates Tonya Love and Carter Lavin.
We will discuss the roots of traffic violence and how Oakland plays host to some of the most effective advocacy for safe streets. Your ticket buys you entry and popcorn.

Over the weekend of June 27th, WOBO had a fantastic time hosting the final event in our Ride Like a Girl workshop series: the bike camping trip! We welcomed 23 campers, who chose to ride 9, 30, or 45 miles to Coyote Hills Regional Park in Fremont.
Ride leaders helped campers navigate, take breaks, and stop along the way to pick up ingredients for dinner and breakfast. For most of the participants, it was their first time bike camping! We are so grateful to have had so many folks join us for this educational event.
