Thank you to all of our supporters, volunteers, and sponsors for a great Livable Communities reception! It was wonderful to see so many old friends, meet new friends, and celebrate Mayor Justin Wilson and our Community Hero awardees – Bernard Holloway, Kyle Reeder, Tina Slater, Michelle Krocker, and Kim Hosen. Check out the pictures from the event, taken by Hugh Kenny of the Piedmont Environmental Council.

Spring is here and we have an exciting announcement! We’ll be celebrating our annual Livable Communities Leadership Awards at a reception on May 16 at the Old Ebbitt Grill Atrium – steps away from the White House.

A star of the walkable communities movement will be joining CSG and metrobar on St Patrick’s Day! Jeff Speck will be in town celebrating the release of his 10th Anniversary Edition of Walkable City – and we’ll be hosting him. This is just one of many important events and campaigns on tap for CSG and our supporters in the coming weeks.

We face great challenges but also have many opportunities to act locally – to make our world a better place. Every day the CSG team and our supporters speak up for more sustainable communities and transportation. So we hope you’ll weigh in this month on the important local issues highlighted below, and connect with fellow advocates at one of our Smart Growth Socials!

Rally with us for safe streets in Fairfax, help shape Ward 3, join the smart growth debate in Montgomery County, and more!
