Tell the Governor to Support Safe Routes to School

From California Pan-Ethnic Health Network

AB 516 (V.M. Perez), which strengthens the "Safe Routes to Schools" initiative, is on the Governor's desk after passing both houses of the legislature. The bill would encourage walking and bicycling by providing much needed funding to low-income communities for safe transportation routes. The resulting increase in physical activity would have positive health impacts, particularly in communities of color.

Send a letter of support to the Governor TODAY!

Sample letter attatched.

The Governor could make a decision on AB 516 at any time, so send your letter TODAY to voice your support.
