ACTION ALERT
Hello Safe Routes to School coordinators, coalition members and friends,
Congress is currently considering reauthorizing the federal Safe Routes
to School program as part of the next transportation bill. This is a
critical time to make our case for future funding for the Safe Routes to
School program. The Safe Routes to School National Partnership wants
Congress to hear from children, parents, and community leaders about why
Safe Routes to School matters to individuals and communities. To help
make sure the next transportation bill includes adequate funding for the
health-promoting Safe Routes to School program, we hope you will
consider participating in the following "Call to Action".
Join the Safe Routes to School "Dear Congress" campaign and help spread
the word
Deadline: September 24, 2009
The Safe Routes to School National Partnership has launched a "Dear
Congress: Why Safe Routes to School is Important" campaign. Safe Routes
to School is helping make it safe for children to get healthy and active
through walking and bicycling to school. The Partnership needs your help
generating hundreds-if not thousands-of letters from children, parents,
program staff and volunteers, and school and city leaders talking about
why Safe Routes to School matters to individuals and communities. The
Partnership will bundle your letters and share them with members of the
House and Senate so that they know how many people in their states and
districts value Safe Routes to School. For more information on how you
can join the letter-writing campaign, please visit
http://www.saferoutespartnership.org/national/299443 and look for the
link on the homepage. The deadline for the campaign is September 24,
2009.
Thanks for your great support!
