The Power Of Social Media

My last post titled "Make Stoke Legal" described our frustrations with the destruction of the local dirt jumps. The post ended with....

"We are trying to organize the adults and petition the city to turn the vacant land into a bike park. I am hopeful and I will keep you posted via this blog."

He said he would help us get on the agenda for the next Peninsula Community Planning Board meeting. We developed an online petition using a tool called change.org and within the first 24 hours we collected sixty supporters! Amazing! The petition even has one signature from someone living in Slovania :)
