Our VP and the LBS he works for in Philly are taking a stand in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. We’d like to acknowledge part of his motivation to choose is their support of the movement and considerable disregard for their community in regards to their continued relationship with the Philadelphia PD. The email the entire Temple community received on the 7th of June was a real slap in the face with lots of words but little action. We as a club implore to reconsider the action they’re taking in their continued relationship with the systematically racist Philadelphia PD and the effect this has on the community we all call home. Now is not the time to play it safe. Now is the time to stand up, stand out and create change.

BLM FUNDRAISER PLEASE READ!!.
I am BEYOND proud of for contributing to myself and other staff members’ desire to promote and enact real change in our community in regards to Black Lives Matter. .
Every staff member at the shop has chosen one local Philly area charity/org that’s fighting for equality for those in the Black/POC community. From June 20-27 we will all ride as far as we can in a classic cycle-a-thon fashion raising money for our chosen orgs. You can support this fundraiser by pledging to donate a monetary amount per mile we ride during that week. .
The org I’ve chosen is Philadelphia Chapter who is currently on the front lines defending the rights afforded to everyone in this country by our constitution. A big part of why I chose this org was due to their support of the campaign in order to give more money to our city’s social services and education. .
My goal is approx. 400 miles - hopefully doesn’t mind me being a bit sleepy on the clock. If you want to support me or any of the other staff members and their chosen orgs please DM me or check out the link in bio!!.
Now is the time to push, to make your voice heard and to put your money where your mouth is. I really don’t care if we don’t talk or if we’ve got
