THANK YOU TO ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS, ORGANIZERS, PARTNERS, AND SUPPORTERS FOR YOUR HARD WORK LAST YEAR! THANK YOU, ALSO, TO THE PHOTOGRAPHERS AND VIDEOGRAPHERS WHO CAPTURED OUR WORK AND PROVIDED CONTENT.
In September 2019, E4C started with a beach cleanup. It was a great success, but our work really began when the COVID-19 pandemic hit NYC in Spring 2020. Throughout the year, E4C volunteers and friends helped deliver thousands of face masks and face shields, as well as gallons of hand sanitizer, to frontline workers, hospitals, organizations, and BLM protestors across NYC and beyond. We also filmed much of the grassroots COVID relief efforts that our moto community was engaged in, and we are currently in post-production on our first documentary film, ‘Into the Curve.’
We also traveled with Porsche Taylor and Black Girls Ride (BGR) as they spent four, grueling days riding cross-country to attend the 2020 Commitment March on Washington. This ride is the subject of our second documentary, ‘Black Girls Ride,’ currently in production.
When it came time for the 2020 Presidential Election, we partnered with BGR and a host of other organizers to produce Ride to the Polls, a nation-wide series of rides to raise voter awareness and engagement. Finally, we wrapped up the year with our second annual beach cleanup, and are gearing up for more activism and events in 2021. Download the annual report to see our full impact.
