Adam Machson-Carter from the T Riders Union had written to some OB lists asking if there was interest in working on this campaign. I am including him on this email, so everyone knows how to reach him. I'll also include Lee Matsueda from ACE who was at the open house at St. Paul's recently and Jasmine, also from ACE, who has been part of the Monday night community orgs. meetings.<div>
<br></div><div>I agree that mobilizing around this would be great -- especially if done in conjunction with the T Riders Union -- which already has deep roots in the community and lots of knowledge on the issues.</div><div>

I am down for this. Cutting mass transit is not just bad for people without access to cars but its bad for the environment. its the reverse direction from where we need to be going, I think we ought to see what we can mobilize around this, and tie it to socio-economic justice<br>

Hi all,<br>
The T Riders Union and some allies including some youth organizations<br>
and other community organizers are preparing to oppose the cuts. They<br>
have their first meeting coming up on Jan. 10th in Somerville. Some of<br>
the folks came to the GA last night...it sounds like they weren't able<br>
to make the announcement. But I know they have wanted to connect to OB.<br>
<br>
I'll do some digging in my email to find the meeting location and pass<br>
it on.<br>
<br>
Peace,<br>
