By Bakari Height, LNS Transit Organizer
It’s that time of the year again – Transit Equity Day 2025! This time public transportation is at a dire turning point. With federal transit funding on the line by our now Republican-controlled government, states may be on their own to decide the fate of systems locally or otherwise. We at LNS are focused on uplifting the voices of our communities, especially our labor union partners. If you know of any member of a union that takes public transit to work, share this link to have them share their story on why transit is essential. We also invite anyone to register their actions for Transit Equity Day by going to the LNS Transit Equity Day website here. Be sure to join us for our annual livestream on Transit Equity Day (February 4th) at Noon EST on YouTube.
