On Thursday, November 21st, at 10 AM -- Philadelphia City Council will be voting on a resolution calling on Governor Shapiro to flex federal highway funding for public transportation. Given SEPTA's imminent fiscal cliff, we need speakers to come and voice their support for this resolution. RSVP here to join our organizers & volunteers as we go to bat for public transit.
A large wave of public commentators could be extremely persuasive in terms of at least getting some press coverage and getting the Governor & DVRPC to act.
