We need good schools, transit, housing, jobs, and food for our people.
At a time when Kansas Citians struggle to make ends meet, it is outrageous for PortKC to prioritize lining the pockets of billionaires.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai is a tech oligarch lining up behind Trump, supporting authoritarianism so that he and his fellow billionaire cronies can keep getting richer. Tech billionaires like Sundar have enough money to literally buy our democracy – they don’t need another taxpayer handout.

As a result of our collective pressure—1000s of emails, hundreds of calls, and direct action—Council & KCATA know that a less frequent, inaccessible bus system is deeply unpopular and harmful to riders.
They claim to have a plan on the table to fully fund buses. They’re lying.
