As I posted on this blog in March 2017, Bosnian activists were some of the first in the world to successfully campaign to repeal a bicycle helmet law. Now, activists there need your help.
For the past four years, I have had the honor of working with activists in this war-battered country. Along with my colleagues at the Center for Environment (CfE), our partner in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), we have guided activists from all over BiH to improve their communities through bicycling and environmental campaigns.
Now the project needs many people to step up and help. Our funder for the project could only provide half of the funds we need for the next phase of the project. So we launched a GoFundMe Charity fundraiser to fill the gap – please donate and share the link.
The war ended 25 years ago and in its shadow, corruption, despair and poverty have thrived. People are still leaving, but not these activists. They are fighting back by causing positive change. These are the toughest and most committed activists I have ever worked with. Let’s show them we appreciate their commitment to creating a country they are proud of, where all Bosnians can choose to bicycle, where they would like to live and raise their families.
We need your help to make this happen. Even small donations add up toward our goal. Your donations are tax-deductible.
Please also invite others to donate by sharing and forwarding the GoFundMe Charity page. Thank you!
