Finding Connection Again with Gene Martinez

Work as an individual can be good. Work as a community can be even greater. On this episode of PtP, Michael of LSA meets with Gene Martinez, program coordinator at the John Velanzuela Youth Center in South Tucson, to discuss the youth center’s current work and involvement in the community. From urban tacticalism to getting involved in this year’s Cyclovia, Gene has big plans for the community he serves, tune in! Pedaling the Pueblo is created by Living Streets Alliance and powered by the City of Tucson Department of Transportation and Mobility. We deliver you this mini-program and podcast connecting you to bicycle events and updates in Tucson. We invite city professionals, grassroots organizers, and storytellers to share what they’re working on, what’s exciting in the bicycling ecosystem, and how more people can ditch their cars for better, more equitable biking experiences. We want to talk about what’s fresh and relevant in Tucson, so if you have a question or topic you’d like to hear covered, email us at [email protected].
