THIS is why we need to support a robust transit system, build protected bike lane networks and majorly upgrade walkability. Bike/walk/transit investments are long-term investments in a healthy, safe, accessible, affordable transportation system.

Orange skies aren't cool. Letting public transportation infrastructure die on the vine because we don't fund it well is very much not cool. Leaving poor people to wait in smoky air for fewer and fewer buses is not cool. Taxing ourselves to pay for a better world = super cool.

At the start of Spring quarter, my pact with students was teaching & learning with care & compassion in the time of crisis. Now it’s the time of uprising. We, as faculty, can choose to be rule-keepers & gate-keepers & grade-keepers. Or we can practice a pedagogy of justice.
