Hello,
 
HOPE's Built Environment Action Team has several events coming up in July--we would love to have you join us!
 
Thursday, July 14, 2011
Genesis Town Hall for Transportation Justice
6:30pm
Location: First Congregational Church (2501 Harrison St, Oakland).

Demand that Alameda County spends a portion of its $10 billion in transportation dollars to:

- provide every Middle and High School Student in Alameda County with a free bus pass (to get to school and afterschool activities);
- more funding for AC Transit so it doesn't have to cut more service and so it can restore the 15% of service it cut last year.

For questions, call Genesis representatives: Michele Jordan (510-590-3390) and/or Mahasin Abdul Salaam (510-978-8510)

We will be participating in an interactive mapping session on "Complete Streets" in Oakland, led by David Ralston, and discussing policy strategies to increasing complete streets.

Urban Agriculture Community Workshop
6:30-8:30pm
 
Location: North Oakland Seniour Center 5714 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Oakland
