Hi Guys,
Really excited to see some of these projects get started. We have been helping fund a few other things in NHV as well. Examples of what they look like on SeeClickFix might give some context to the big picture.
Example 1: http://seeclickfix.com/issues/229653-support-a-2nd-cardboard-bus-bench
Example 2: http://seeclickfix.com/issues/229256-support-the-east-rock-festival...
To get started:
1) please report your fundable project on SeeClickFix
2) Email me to let me know you have done it and how much money you are looking to raise
3) I'll give you a paypal button and we're off to the races.
Imagine. Inform. Invest. Inspire.

Luckily, the good folks at ioby have [...]Jackson holds Mississippi’s first Open Streets
They were dancing in the streets of Jackson during Open Streets. How do you turn people who walk and bike into advocates for safer streets when they don’t identify as walkers and cyclists? This is a question that leaders of Bike Walk Mississippi, and advocates across the country, are constantly asking themselves. While many advocacy [...]Tips for Attending Open Streets
We spend a lot of time talking about how to organize Open Streets, but the vast majority of people just want to enjoy a day walking or riding with their family and friends. How do you make it as easy as possible for participants to have a great time at Open Streets? We know that [...]© 2013 Created by Lee Cruz.
