Picture this. You wake up and walk downtown. Neighbors greet you from their porches. The streets are filled with people—kids playing, adults chatting. You run into an old friend and catch up outside a local cafe. This is the life we want to create in cities across North America.

If we had the political will to build true electrified high-speed rail and reform our customs process, you could get from NYC to Montreal in 3 hours and to Toronto in 4.5. It takes 11 hours and 12.5 hours to make these trips via rail today. We deserve better.
Construction of I95 in Miami required the forcible relocation of over 12,000 residents—nearly 100% of them black. Using eminent domain, the gov't seized buildings across the heart of Miami's black community in Overtown, offering owners well below market rate—and renters nothing.

A week ago, a driver turning right at 4th/King killed for a four year old. Today at the vigil, SFMTA said it would take 3 weeks to do a “quick build” to make the intersection safer. That's too long to wait. So we did our own quick build tonight and closed one of the turn lanes
