Gendered Perspectives of Bay Area Transit Event Series: Panel 3– Transit Advocacy & Activism
September 24 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Join Transbay Coalition this Bay Area Transit Month for a deep dive into the intersections of gender and transit with this series of events featuring leaders in the field of transit. From governance of transit agencies; to the day-to-day operations of buses, trains, and ferries; to advocacy & activism — the way we all get around the Bay Area is not gender-neutral. Tune in to learn how transit shapes people’s experience in a gendered way and how by incorporating different gender backgrounds into transit work, we can make a transportation system that works better for everyone.
The third panel in the series is a moderated discussion between transit advocates & activists. The panel is co-hosted by SF Transit Riders and Transbay Coalition; moderated by Thea Selby, Co-founder of the San Francisco Transit Riders and Voices for Public Transportation. The panelists are Haleema Bharoocha (MPP) who helped lead Phase One of BART’s “Not One More Girl” campaign; Lian Chang is a proponent of Prop L: Fund the Bus and has previously supported transit lanes through Faster Safer Geary; and Abibat Rahman-Davies, Transform’s Transportation Policy Advocate.
