From
transit reliability to safe places to walk, ride and roll, from smooth
sidewalks to neighborhoods that can sustain and support us, mobility access and
equity are part of all of our lives on a daily basis. And while our needs – as
caregivers and transportation workers, as young people and disabled people, as
BIPOC leaders and climate champions –
may be different, we all need to be able to get around our community safely,
reliably and in ways that will lead us to a sustainable climate future. At this
series of four forums, we will learn about how candidates for Seattle City
Council will support our needs and build towards a more accessible city with
mobility justice for all. Come learn with us!
All
four forums will be hybrid events: in person and streamed on Zoom. CART and ASL
will be provided through Zoom. All venues are wheelchair accessible. All
primary candidates in each district have been invited to participate.
