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.
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.
