Addressing Public Transportation and Racial Justice
Join us at our March 2024 General Membership Meeting, for a discussion of the critical intersection of public transportation and racial justice issues within our community. In this meeting, we will delve into the pressing concerns and proposals shaping the future of our city's transit system and its impact on our communities.
Key topics for discussion include:
The controversial Congestion Pricing proposal, aimed at reducing traffic but raising concerns about economic impacts on low-income residents and communities of color.
Recent incidents of violence in our subway system, which have prompted the governor to deploy the National Guard. We will explore the implications of this response and its effects on our community's sense of safety and security.
The proposal for the Interborough Express, a project designed to enhance connectivity and accessibility across neighborhoods. We'll examine how this project can serve as a tool for social and racial equity, providing improved transit options for underserved areas.
This meeting is an opportunity for members to voice their concerns, share insights, and contribute to shaping our stance and advocacy efforts on these vital issues.
