in terms of working on "an action": yesterday i didn't know what to do<br>with myself but i knew i wanted to do something. the first<br>organization i thought of to contact in terms of advocacy for the<br>shared use of streets and awareness of bicycles and pedestrians in
<br>them was Livable Streets (<a href="http://www.livablestreets.info/front_page">http://www.livablestreets.info/front_page</a>).<br><br>i wrote to Jeff Rosenblum (co-founder and executive director) and he<br>sent the following:
<br><br>----<br>Hi Terra,<br>Thanks for writing. Would love to get you involved in our work! Here are<br>some links to some of my latest advocacy efforts. I could always use<br>help with photography, measurements, type of thing. And if you're
<br>interested, getting up to speed on the "livable streets" concept, and<br>going around to organizations and neighborhood associations with a stock<br>slideshow and video clips that I'm putting together to help get out the
<br>word... lets talk.<br><br>And don't forget to take a deep breath... and exhale. Something I have<br>to remind myself regularly in my work.<br><br>Mass Ave by Porter Sq:<br><a href="http://www.livablestreets.info/files/northmassave_29mar07_final.pdf">
