Sunday
Streets is closing out the season with the last event in the Mission! On Sunday, October 23 from 11a.m. until 4p.m., Valencia and 24th Streets will once again be transformed into a car free space. There will be dancing, roller disco, break dance lessons, and so much more! Dust off your running shoes, your skateboard, or that old bike you haven't used in a while and come play in the streets! Tell us what you think about Sunday Streets
As we begin planning 2012 Season, we'd like to have your thoughts and
input as we move forward. Please take a moment to fill out this brief,
10-question survey.
Sunday Streets is also a Food Day event this year! The
popular Sunday Streets in the Mission happens to fall just at the right
time for the first national, annual Food Day this year. Sunday Streets
on the 23rd will be a Food Day event! More information on Food Day is at
www.FoodDay.org.
Tie your plans and activities for Sunday Streets into the six Food Day principles: - Reduce diet-related disease by promoting safe, healthy foods
- Support sustainable farms & limit subsidies to big agribusiness
- Expand access to food and alleviate hunger
- Protect the environment & animals by reforming factory farms
- Promote health by curbing junk-food marketing to kids
- Support fair conditions for food and farm workers
On
or around October 24th, Food Day is basically like an Earth Day for the
food movement -- a national day for which any
group/org/individual/community can host events, showcase work, launch
new projects, push for legislative change, educate people, etc around
issues like sustainability, justice, health, and how they intersect.
It's grassroots-driven, in that communities and organizations put
together the events, projects, editorials, and campaigns they feel would
be most beneficial for Food Day.
Ideas include helping kids make art about Food Day or healthy eating,
or making music about food justice, or offering dietary-related health
screenings.
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO ENTER!!! Win an electric bike from The New Wheel or a Public J7 bike! Other prizes include a child's push bike, kid's bike (brand tba), City CarShare Membership,

Streets is made possible by the good work of the San Francisco
Municipal Transportation Agency, the program’s official City sponsor,
the San Francisco Mayor’s Office and Livable City. This program could
not be possible, however, without the significant support of our many
sponsors, program partners and individual donors. To make a contribution

San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) is the lead
coordinating
and funding city agency for Sunday Streets. Sunday Streets also receives
political
and outreach support from the San Francisco Mayor’s Office and other
agencies
within the City and County of San Francisco. Livable City, as the Fiscal
Sponsor, oversees the day-to-day management of the program and raises
funds from the private sector to cover outside costs. SF Bicycle
Coalition manages Sunday Streets Volunteer Program.
Spotlight on In-kind sponsors:
Red Cross provides medical support services at every Sunday Streets
event, City Car Share provides Sunday Streets organizers with free
memberships and driving credits so we have cars when needed, as no one
on Sunday Streets staff owns a personal vehicle.
