Oregon vote-by-mail works like a charm.
72% of Americans, including 79% of Democrats and 65% of Republicans, support a requirement for mail-in ballots as a way to protect voters in case of a continued spread of #COVID19 later this year. #VotingByMail reut.rs/39ZsfGY

Yes, we agree, and encourage #VisionZero leaders to read & integrate a commitment to equitable actions and outcomes in your safe mobility work. Thanks @untokening for your leadership. Our resource on VZ equity strategies (few yrs old but still relevant): visionzeronetwork.org/wp-con…
A few weeks ago, we hosted a Zoom conversation w/
@PuebloPlanning & advocates about #mobilityjustice during COVID-19.
Today, we are excited to release a statement and action steps based on that conversation.
We hope this can be a guide for #mobilityjustice in this new era.

Something to look forward to: @sfmta_muni and Director @jeffreytumlin are already planning a rapid transformation of SF's streets to prioritize transit and cycling once shelter-in-place is over.

Governors and state legislators have a major role to play in ending the #CongestionCon and spending our money on projects that will actually improve our lives.
Help us make that a reality by sending your local officials a message.
