CURRENT EVENTS
Call to Action (SHOULD TAKE 8 MINUTES)
You may remember that the Genesis Disability/Transit Justice Task Force has been pushing our regional representatives, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), to craft a regional measure to fund public transit. In August 2024, a delegation of us went to call out the so-called "Select Committee" to stop favoring the Corporate Interests who wanted to create a regressive funding source via a sales tax and "Reject the Golden Cow". That Select Committee was UNABLE to come away with a solution.
This is where YOU come in!
Click on the Form to lead you through making a call to your MTC representative. Start with one line about why you care + two points:
1) We want a Progressive Funding Source (don’t fund transit on the backs of low income people!)
2) We expect our Representatives to speak up for Transit Riders (people with disabilities, youth, elders, working people).
Genesis has a goal of delivering FIFTY calls to our MTC reps. by Thanksgiving.
Genesis unites and activates a multiracial, income-diverse community to promote effective, equitable solutions to stubborn regional problems.
Genesis members include faith communities, unions, community organizations and other institutions.
Your investment will contribute building youth leaders and animating our shared values of kindness, inclusion and compassion.
