In the second of our new brown bag lunch series, join Peace House’s new Executive Director, Meg Wade, for a conversation on local and state transportation challenges and why transit matters when we talk about peace, justice, and civil rights.
Meg has written about rural transit and mobility justice for Oregon Humanities and other publications. What do we even mean by the phrase “mobility justice”? Come and find out! We’ll offer coffee and tea; bring your lunch and your willingness to learn, listen, and share.
Transit Equity Day is a national day held on February 4th, the day that Rosa Parks was born.
