PIST work in 2024 = Sharing knowledge
We find it unfair that only those with “inside information” get attention to problematic routes from the authorities. Our main work this year has been sharing that to the outside. See below for some of the tables, workshops and meetings where we did this in the past months.
February - TED
&
IncludeNYC fair
Transit Equity Day - in honor of Civil Rights Activist Rosa Park’s birthday, we brought the issue of school bus rights and safety to a national network of activists for fair mass transit that creates union jobs and respects the environment. #WheresMyBus
March - Women’s History Month in the Bronx
We were invited to table at an event hosted by Timon Family Services outdoors in the Bronx at Poe Park.
April - Rainbow Garden opening
Several PIST members became involved with the community garden at 757 Melrose Avenue in the South Bronx. Johnnie in particular worked on a vegetable plot and volunteered on the farm as well as the Melrose Environmental Action Committee. Flyers from PIST can always be found posted inside the garden which is open to all.
