The City of Santa Monica, SMC Bike Club and Sustainable Works are proud to present: The Street Project Film Screening and Panel Discussion!
The Film
In 2010, the small community of specialists who pay attention to US road safety statistics picked up on a troubling trend: more and more pedestrians and cyclists were being killed on American roads. In fact, pedestrian deaths have increased 51 percent since reaching their low point in 2009. In addition to the loss of human life, it is estimated that road injuries will cost the world economy $1.8 trillion from 2015–2030.
THE STREET PROJECT is the story about humanity’s relationship to the streets and the global citizen-led fight to make communities safer.
The Panel
A panel discussion with Colleen Stoll, Transportation Demand Program Manager at City of Santa Monica; Jeff Snyder, Advocate for safe and cheap muti-modal commuting; and Dylan Neumeyer, SMC Bike Club President, will follow the film.
The panel will be moderated by Cynthia Rose, Director Santa Monica Spoke, Co-founder of the Santa Monica Safe Streets Alliance and Board Chair, California Bicycle Coalition & Bike LA.
Light refreshments will be provided, and there will also be a prize drawing for some great biking accessories.
The event is FREE to ALL but you must register.

Harnessing Technology for Climate Justice: A Pathway to Equity and Sustainability
Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, exacerbating existing inequalities and disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities around the world. In the fight for climate justice, technology emerges as a powerful tool to address environmental disparities and promote equity while advancing sustainability goals.
The Climate Justice Conference aims to contribute to advancing climate justice by providing a platform for diverse stakeholders to come together, exchange ideas, share experiences, and catalyze action towards addressing the intersecting challenges of climate change and social injustice. Goals include:
1. Raise Awareness and Build Understanding: this conference, dedicated to climate justice, can raise awareness about the disproportionate impacts of climate change on marginalized communities and vulnerable populations. By highlighting the connections between social inequality, environmental degradation, and climate change, the conference can foster a deeper understanding of the root causes and systemic injustices that exacerbate climate vulnerabilities.
2. Empower Communities: Our climate justice conference will provide an opportunity for impacted communities to amplify their voices, share their stories, and advocate for their rights.
By centering the voices and experiences of frontline communities, indigenous peoples, women, youth, and other marginalized groups, the conference can empower communities to participate in decision-making processes, shape climate policies, and demand equitable solutions that prioritize their needs and priorities.
3. Promote Intersectionality: Climate justice recognizes that climate change intersects with other forms of oppression and discrimination, including race, gender, class, ethnicity, and nationality. This conference on climate justice can promote intersectional approaches that address the interconnected nature of social and environmental injustices. By fostering dialogue and collaboration across diverse sectors and movements, the conference can promote solidarity and collective action towards building more inclusive and equitable societies.
4. Share Best Practices and Solutions: Our climate justice conference will provide a platform for sharing best practices, innovative solutions, and successful strategies for addressing climate vulnerabilities and promoting social resilience. By showcasing successful case studies, pilot projects, and community-led initiatives, the conference can inspire action and replication of proven approaches in different contexts. Participants can learn from each other’s experiences, identify opportunities for collaboration, and leverage collective knowledge to drive positive change.
5. Mobilize Resources and Support: With all our participants, this conference can mobilize resources, support, and commitments from governments, businesses, philanthropic organizations, and civil society actors to invest in climate resilience, adaptation, and mitigation efforts that prioritize social justice. By showcasing the economic, social, and environmental benefits of investing in climate justice initiatives, the conference can encourage increased funding, partnerships, and collaboration to scale up impactful interventions and address systemic barriers to progress.
6. Influence Policy and Decision-Making: We aim for our conference to influence policy and decision-making at local, national, and international levels by providing evidence-based research, policy recommendations, and advocacy tools to policymakers, legislators, and government officials. By convening experts, policymakers, and stakeholders, the conference can facilitate dialogue, consensus-building, and policy innovation on key issues related to climate justice, such as just transition, climate finance, environmental justice, and human rights.
The CJ Con, 2024, will serve as a catalyst for advancing climate justice by raising awareness, empowering communities, promoting intersectionality, sharing best practices, mobilizing resources, and influencing policy and decision-making. By bringing together diverse stakeholders in a collaborative and inclusive forum, the conference can contribute to building a more just, equitable, and sustainable future for all.
2024 CJ Con Speaker lineup includes:

Josh Torres
Dr. Richelle Tanner
Dr. Sergey Nuzhdin
