Transit Justice

Historically, major projects like highways and transit lines displace whole communities of color and disrupt their local development. But with the proposed Blue Line extension, we have an opportunity to create a transit corridor that uplifts some of the most diverse communities in Minnesota, invests in our neighbors, and provides an abundant experience that supports the thriving, active, and vibrant lives of the people who call this place home.

Our vision of an equitable transit corridor includes measures like a transit ambassador program to connect residents to resources, and systems that protect cultural landmarks and safeguard diverse resident populations from being pushed out by rising rents.

We’re building a diverse coalition of transit riders and community stakeholders to raise awareness and pressure decision-makers. 

With compelling data and personal stories, we’ll highlight the urgent need for transit ambassadors, free fares, social services, and increased funding.

Through grassroots organizing, we’ll engage at rallies, town halls, and forums, emphasizing the importance of accessible transit for all – including those in crisis or experiencing homelessness.

We’re partnering with organizations focused on mental health, housing, and social services, amplifying our impact and connecting our fight for transit justice with broader social justice movements.

Together, we’ll secure guaranteed transit funding, community-led safety, and accessibility for all!
