[Street] Street Digest, Vol 3, Issue 38

Hey all,
Just to clarify, the meeting on this coming Tuesday in Somerville is not a
T Riders Union meeting.   It is being put together by folks in Somerville,
many of whom are involved in Occupy Somerville, who are excited about the
idea of an "Occupy the T" type action.  Some people who are involved in the
T Riders Union will likely be there.  It would be great to have some folks
from the Occupy movement there to share your perspectives and to share your
ideas about how Occupy might want to plug into transportation justice work
that is happening in Boston/Somerville.

There is another meeting hosted by the T Riders Union, among other groups,
on Thursday night, January 12 at the Community Church of Boston.  This
meeting will be from 6-8pm.  This event is hosted by the T Riders Union,
the Boston-area Youth Organizing Project, the Roxbury Environmental
Empowerment Project, Mass Senior Action, and the On The Move Transportation
Justice Coalition. * **It would not make sense to have a large group from
Occupy at this meeting, but it would be a good for at least a couple of
representatives from OB to attend and learn about the community response to
the fare increase and service cuts.*

Thanks!

Solidarity and struggle,
Adam Machson-Carter
