Hi again,
The meeting that has been organized by some transit activists and such
is 6pm Tuesday January 10th at 165 Broadway in Somerville.
It's going to be a collection of public transportation advocates and
organizers from around the area.
I would encourage OB 'street' and other WG folks to get in on the
ground floor with partnering from the beginning on everything from
messaging to tactics with others in the community who have been working
on this. The conversations have been really exciting so far among folks
planning the meeting and having OB there from the beginning will be a
great thing.
Hope to see you Thursday!
Morrigan
