Support resources for Critical Mass participants in Los Angeles—because no one should face their struggles alone.
Every month, thousands of riders roll through the streets of Los Angeles with Critical Mass. We ride for joy, for justice, for visibility—and sometimes, we ride through personal storms no one else can see.
We know our staff, ride marshals, and volunteers can’t know every rider’s story. But we want you to know this: you matter, and help is always within reach.
Whether you’re struggling with mental health, substance use, identity, or just need someone to talk to—these hotlines are here for you, 24/7.
