Nobody who knows her is surprised. Transforming  adversity and challenge into growth and opportunity is sort of her signature move.

The Environment (E-Bike) Act is a proposed tax credit to help more people have access to E-bikes and help promote green transportation. ⁠ ⁠ "By incentivizing the use of electric bicycles to replace car trips through a consumer tax credit, we can not only encourage more Americans to transition to greener modes of transportation, but also help fight the climate crisis.” — Jimmy Panetta (D-CA)⁠ ⁠ See Linkin.bio to read more.

“In a moment like that you realize what we are doing at Outdoor Outreach,” explains Lesford Duncan, Outdoor Outreach’s Senior Director of Programs.⁠ ⁠ “The outdoors is this incredible place where we can help build confidence and resilience, we can help youth find a sense of joy, or belonging or healing. So many youth we work with lack access to these spaces, and that’s an injustice in and of itself.”⁠ ⁠ Photo: @OutdoorOutreach

If you are in the San Diego area check out Ale Smith Brewing Company's Anvil of Hope beer. This Hazy IPA "pours it forward" with proceeds benefitting COVID-19 frontline workers. ⁠ ⁠ Tasting notes: pretty much everything you’d expect in a 7.5% hazy IPA, meaning there’s citrus and other tropical fruits. It tastes great knowing that monies are going to people serving their fellow human beings.⁠ ⁠ #EarnYourBeer #ASJ

ATTENTION TRAIL USERS: Please take a moment to read, remember and practice trail etiquette. ⁠ ⁠ A few days after our article on trail etiquette went to press ASJ publisher Cathy Claesson was forced off the trail and into a ditch resulting in a severely broken foot — full recovery (if possible) will take at least a year.
