Transit Justice Organizing (Intro to Regional Planning II - Transportation)

Speakers: Bob Allen, Urban Habitat; Margaret Gordon, West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project (WOEIP) and Ditching Dirty Diesel (DDD); Mary Lim Lampe, Genesis; Jane Martin, People Organized to Win Employment Rights (POWER); Guillermo Mayer, Public Advocates; Alia Phelps, Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE)

The region's decisions about transit funding have long prioritized the needs of big business and invested heavily in highways in wealthy suburbs, but low-income transit dependent riders are pushing back against this paradigm by organizing for more affordable transit and better transit service in their communities. This workshop will share lessons learned from two case studies: the 6 Wins network's advocacy for equity within Plan Bay Area and the free youth transit pass victory in San Francisco. We will explore how we can better coordinate throughout the region to support each other and share organizing efforts that are underway.
