Bikemore believes unequivocally that Black lives matter. Baltimore is the American birthplace of many unjust housing and transportation policies that have perpetuated white supremacy. Our job as advocates is to name these injustices and ensure they do not continue.
Transportation advocacy, and specifically bike advocacy, are spaces dominated by white voices. These voices often fail to address how their work perpetuates racism. Bikemore is no exception. We commit to our staff, our community, and our city to always fight against racism.
We believe in safe streets for all, which includes safety from racist policing and police brutality.
