Ccl bike ride ideas?

Sept 20 is an event called Sun Day, and there are events nationwide. We have a local bike advocacy nonprofit that is sponsoring a group ride on that day. As a group leader I would like to partner with them, but I am not sure how. I am looking for ideas.

@Alex Messinger Love bike rides as a way to connect with people! I especially like rides that showcase what's happening in the community. Maybe you could ask them to pick a route that tours some clean energy projects that are happening nearby?

And/or if there is a defined start/end point maybe CCL could table there?

@Alex Messinger are you asking about if it's okay for CCL chapters to be involved with SunDay.Earth events?

I have some ideas for my region that are nonpartisan and educational but I'm not sure if we should identify our chapter with "SunDay.Earth" by hosting an event that day.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

@Alex Messinger @Robin Paone

From what I see on their website this looks like a non-partisan event. In the “key organizer” section it states: “Sun Day is a grassroots annual event founded by leading activist organizations who know how to turn actions into movements and words into policies”. I think Andrew's idea of tabling at beginning or end of the bike ride makes sense. If we table at electric car shows and pollinator fairs, why not at a clean energy celebration? On their website you can see all of the registered events so far.

Hell all, CCL national feels that it is fine to use SunDay events as grassroots outreach opportunities for tabling/clipboarding. We are working on getting permission to do this. We haven't heard back yet. I will update this forum as soon as we get the word.
