The Pedalshift Project 261: A Game of Chance Tour – Part 2

As I said last time… sometimes bad ideas go good, and good ideas go bad. And then there’s the latest bonkers idea of a tour I had… a game of chance. In the final installment, we learn preparation can sometimes be the key to a good tour, or it can mean you carry a lot in your panniers more for show.

Fall 2021 Tour: A Game of Chance – Part 2

Choice for this part include:

Stay on the WMRT
Westbound on the C&O
Eastbound on the C&O back to the WMRT
Stay on the C&O, keep going eastbound
Read some signs
Sundown coming – C&O bicycles, two campgrounds, or… <sigh>
 
I was all set to get up the next morning and do another leg of the tour but ended up having that nagging injury return, so I’m postponing the rest of the tour for later next month and OF COURSE you’re invited. We’re dropping the chance on this one because that made my head explode for what essentially was an out and back ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Best of Pedalshift 152: The Great American Rail-Trail

The Great American Rail-Trail, launched by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy nearly three years ago is a proposed network of nearly 4000 miles of off-road trails linking Washington, DC to the outskirts of Seattle, WA. Back in 2019, we chatted with Kevin Mills of RTC to get the scoop on this exciting project and what to expect in the years to come.

Originally podcast February 7, 2019.

Redistricting and Discrimination

On this episode, we’re picking up a topic we talked about months ago: Redistricting. Last time, we talked about the general process for redistricting, and we encouraged our nonprofit community to learn how the new maps would be drawn in their state or their local district.   

This time, we’re going to look at how the nonprofit community can advocate for their mission and their own community no matter the process in your home state, and regardless of where your state is in the redistricting process. We also wanted to lift up that historically, how we encourage voting or limit voting in America is also through the lens of discrimination.

Show Notes 

  • How the census, which is required to proportionally represent an entire state’s population, encountered a growing problem that politicians couldn’t fix for decades. 
  • How the Supreme Court in conjunction with citizen action in the 1960’s addressed this issue, which resulted in the “One Person One Vote” doctrine. 
  • How redistricting election maps works and how it differs by state. 
  • Regardless of your state’s system to draw maps, your nonprofit can play a vital role in protecting your community’s right to vote and to participate in policy-making. 
  • Current day challenges in redistricting include high population densities, whether to count undocumented residents or only US citizens, and questions on equity and race. 
  • How some nonprofits are engaging in the redistricting process and how your organization can get involved as well. 
  • What does gerrymandering and “packing” mean? 
  • What are “communities of interest” and what is “contiguity”? 
  • The importance of knowing the computer model your state uses to create maps

The Pedalshift Project 258: Green Goblin Retirement Tour – Day 7 + Takeaways

The final day of the Goblin retirement tour featured a short ride, a three-bus journey from the coast to smokey, stormy and hot hot hot Medford for the flight home. A lot of moving parts… would I make all the connections? Plus… three big takeaways and an epilogue to the whole trip.

Takeaways

Trust your skills – it turns out my lack of faith in my ability to fix that chain ended up stealing some nice riding. I had plenty of bus opportunities to catch up if disaster struck, plus that Better World Club “towing” option. Should have taken the calculated risk earlier.
 
Rushed the prep – two things… I didn’t go through my tools bag, otherwise I would have had a spare quick link on hand to make a better fix than a twist and a prayer. Second thing was I landed in Portland late and had to leave within a few hours of waking up. That was a bad idea… it rushed my nephew visit and I never could do a once over on the bike.
 
It is fun to meet people in camp again – I hadn’t camped with anyone in the same campsite, let alone had a campground conversation since the summer of 2019… on the Oregon coast! It was fun to trade stories with the guy from Korea and share the conversation I had last episode. Makes me realize how much we’ve all been missing in this crazy 19 months!

35: Advocacy During and After Disasters

On this episode, we’re going to discuss how nonprofits can support their communities in the wake of natural (and other types) of disasters. Whether it’s dealing with preparations for flooding, hurricanes, and wildfires or helping communities get back on their feet after political conflict, nonprofits can and should be ready and able to help by mobilizing volunteers, helping communities navigate government relief programs, providing financial assistance, and more. 

Attorneys for this episode: Natalie Ossenfort, Quyen Tu 

Topics: 

  • Why one shouldn’t overlook the importance of local/community nonprofits  
  • The importance of community foundations in helping rebuild after a disaster 
  • A forum where organizations share knowledge and resources throughout the disaster cycle 
  • September is National Preparedness Month 
  • Tax Relief in Disaster Situations
