I volunteered for DC Bike to Work Day. I got up at 6am and made my way down to Freedom Plaza to help set up for the rally and festival. I never bothered going to the Bike to Work Day rallies. I ride my bike almost everyday, going to a rally seemed more of a detour. But after experiencing B2WD 2009, I’m going back every year.
It was a huge success. I got a whole lot of good, free swag: the free T-shirt (size small!), biking socks & arm warmers, leg straps, lip balm and postcards (I love postcards). I saw a bunch of my Chain Gange DC friends. But the primary reason for the event’s success is that I chatted with a few Transportation for America employees and got my resume into their hands.
Yesterday I applied for T4America’s Field Director position and I am perfect for this job. I’m a transportation policy geek and a skilled political organizer with tons of federal issue campaign experience. I’ve have colleagues at several organizations that are also T4America partners who are passing my application to their T4America contacts.
Keep your fingers crossed!
