Event link: https://www.movela.org/11th_annual_transportation_conversat Save the Date! On December 8, 2020 from 1:30-3:00pm Move LA will hold their inaugural Virtual Transportation Conversation with the theme: Transit is the Future. Public transportation systems across the country are in crisis. From the unprecedented pandemic that has dramatically reshaped ridership to the loss in sales tax and other revenue sources that fund public transit, public transit agencies are su...ffering and transit riders are being left behind. We will hear from local, state, and federal lawmakers, advocates from our broad coalition, and transit riders about the challenges we face and how we can improve public transit for all by ensuring access to a sustainable, affordable, and accessible mode of transportation for millions. Join us! ------------------------ Participe en la conversación virtual sobre el transporte público de Move LA: "El transporte público es el futuro!"Los sistemas de transporte público de los Estados Unidos están en crisis debido a la pandemia sin precedentes que ha reducido drásticamente la cantidad de pasajeros, lde impuestos e ingresos tarifarios, y la financiación del estado. Sin más ayuda del Congreso, el servicio de transporte público a través de los Estados Unidos podría ser devastado, los trabajadores del transporte público podrían ser despedidos, y los trabajadores esenciales y otras personas podrían quedar sin un medio de transporte para ir al trabajo. No debemos permitir que la pandemia debilite nuestro sistema de transporte, reduzca el servicio y revierta todo lo que hemos trabajado para reducir las desigualdades y la contaminación creadas por nuestro sistema centrado en el automóvil.

ALERTA DE ACCION El martes 10 de noviembre, la Mesa de Supervisores del Condado de Los Ángeles votará para expandir el Programa Piloto de Fideicomiso de Tierras Comunitarias, cual hará que más propiedades sean elegibles e invertirá $ 14 millones al programa. Esta expansión ayudará a que fideicomisos de tierras comunitarias adquieran propiedades a través del condado, ayudará a proteger nuestros vecindarios de los intereses corporativos, y ayudará a inquilinos permanecer en sus hogares. ¡Necesitamos su ayuda para realizar esta propuesta!
