News from Rider’s Alliance – Free Workshop

Do you want to boost your political advocacy skills with other subway and bus riders? Join us for a special training and learn how to lobby your elected officials in Albany!

In the lead up to his State of the State address, Governor Cuomo announced many of the Capital Plan fixes riders have been asking for—but he still hasn’t said how he plans to fund them. If riders don’t speak up, the Governor could decide to simply pass on the costs of the Capital Plan to the MTA—and that would mean more fare hikes for riders.That’s why we need to be ready to stand together for better public transit.
Join us on Saturday, February 6th at the Riders Alliance office for a special training and strategy workshop that will help prepare riders for lobbying trips to Albany. We’ll learn about the MTA’s Capital Plan budget process and how to advocate for better public transit. Let’s get ready to take on Albany!
Please join us—(Cardboard Cutout) Cuomo will be there!
