Weekly Recommendation
This week’s recommendation is to support local transportation organizations like Transbay Coalition and SF Transit Riders. There is a lot at stake with cuts to essential services, including small businesses (bars, restaurants) that will suffer if employees can’t take BART late night for example. I cannot emphasize enough how important this issue is to us all.
