About Us

Our Mission

Our Alliance

Our Alliance

We have a simple mission:  To stop DC's  plan to eliminate two multi-use lanes on the avenue and replace them with fixed single-use bike lanes with barriers. We share information and use open-source reporting. That means that we comb through and analyze public information and cite all of our sources. We support democracy, voter participation, civilized debate and tolerance.

Our Alliance

Our Alliance

It is not just Chevy Chase that is struggling with the District's plans. We are part of an alliance of community groups across all 8 Wards. Our partners include West Virginia Ave (Ivy City), I St SE/SW, Dupont  East  Civic  Action  Association,  Shaw Main Streets, V St Faith Alliance, Crestwood, Glover Park, Hill East, Columbia Heights and Maryland Ave NE.

Who We Are

Our Alliance

Who We Are

We are a DC-based nonprofit organization. We have no staff or financial backing apart from local residents who pitch in funds to purchase signs. We are all volunteers, not professional activists and are reluctantly standing up to be a voice for our neighborhood. We  don't publish our volunteers' names because of threats they receive from cycling activists.
