Much of Philadelphia transformed into one big party when it became clear that the city’s voters had delivered the ballots Joe Biden and Kamala Harris needed to win a monumentally contentious election.
Philadelphians gathered outside to celebrate the victory residents danced in front of City Hall and the Pennsylvania Convention Center, gathered in parks, honked horns, and broke out the party dress of the season a mailbox costume. It was a joyous moment for many, a light in the darkness of an especially tense election week and hope amid a year tainted by the pandemic.

As 2020 draws to a close a year of extreme changes and challenges it is with incredible appreciation that we reflect on the collective impact of our movement across the country.
While the COVID-19 pandemic has altered our lives dramatically, it has also made clear just how vital trails are to people and places serving as important space for health and wellness and providing safe outdoor access for millions of people.
This remarkable impact would not have been possible without the time, dedication and ingenuity of America’s trail builders and advocates, whose efforts brought so much impact to so many people.
