Speakers: Laura Cohen, Western Region Director, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy; James Corless, Director, Transportation for America; Greg Cox, Supervisor, San Diego County, CA; Shireen Malekafzali, Senior Associate, Policylink

The current extension bill expires March 31 and the stakes have never been higher. This session will provide smart growth practitioners with an update on the status of the bill, how it will impact communities in short & long term, and what steps they can take to influence the bill or how it's implemented in their region. The focus will be on transit/walking/biking programs, and livable community performance measures.

Labor Unions: Emerging Allies for Smart Growth

Speakers: Greg LeRoy, Executive Director, Good Jobs First; Kevin Pranis, Laborers International Union of North America; Aurita Apodaca, Organizer, FRESC for Good Jobs and Strong Communities; Lorena Gonzalez, Secretary/Treasurer/CEO, San Diego-Imperial Counties Central Labor Council

Some unions, like the Food & Commercial Workers who oppose Walmart and the Amalgamated Transit Union that advocates for transit, are well-known to smart growthers for their sophisticated advocacy. And unions have much more freedom to advocate than do non-profits or most public officials. But too often, labor leaders and growth-management practitioners do not know each other well or actively coordinate. This workshop is both "Labor's Self-Interest in Smart Growth" and "Labor Movement 101" with specific examples of smart growth advocacy from three exemplary labor groups and a pro-labor think tank.
