We were so grateful to be in community tonight and discuss our local wins, begin to unpack the new realities at the federal level — and lay the groundwork for how our movement should respond, defend, and grow in the coming years.

Now, we organize!
A group of people listen to a speaker. A slide is showing live responses to a discussion prompt asking “What are some ways you hope to see our movement respond in this moment”, and the one that’s being highlighted reads: “Embrace economic populist policies that are popular with working class voters and the base: $17 minimum wage, union clean energy jobs, paid family leave”

We're facing a massive fiscal cliff for public transit, and need critical changes to how the state designs and builds roads, making State level transportation champs critical.

That's why we're excited to congratulate these transportation champs who won their elections! ⬇️

Hope is an action.

We will choose to care for each other every day and build the better future that we know is possible and that we deserve.
Hope is not a feeling, but an action. A choice to wake up every day and work toward the better future we know is possible and that we deserve. We are embarking into dark waters. It’s okay to be afraid, angry, heartbroken. What’s most important is that in this time we choose each other each and every day. To choose solidarity, love, and community care. We remain steadfast in our commitment to building a world rooted in those values. Together, we will choose hope.
