Next to him is a quote that he said during an interview, “At PPT, Transit riders and transit workers roll together. We’re not letting the system divide us and we’re building power.” In the background is a photo of County Executive-Elect Sara Innamorato from the bus ride-along that Sascha helped coordinate with PPT.
Hi Jack! My name is Sascha Craig. I've been a Pittsburgh Regional Transit worker for nearly 33 years. With the County Executive on this year's ballot, I couldn't sit out of PPT's organizing. Now that new energy will be leading our county you shouldn't sit out either.
Stand with Sascha and give PPT a year-end donation today [[link removed]]
Here's why Sascha organizes with PPT:
"My family and community are full of both transit workers and transit riders who need our system to succeed. That’s why, during this year’s election for our next Allegheny County Executive, the stakes were too high for us to sit on the sidelines. [[link removed]]
The County Exec is the single most powerful elected official when it comes to our region’s transit. The County Exec controls appointments to PRT’s Board of Directors, they set policy and direct a budget of hundreds of millions of dollars meant to keep Allegheny County moving. With so much power on the ballot for Election Day, it was clear we had to organize, educate and elect a true transit champion as our next leader.
This year, PPT invited the County Exec candidates to ride the bus with transit riders and transit workers like me to hear firsthand the issues we face. [[link removed]] We sent each of the candidates a questionnaire about their transit priorities and mailed out those answers to thousands of County residents. We mobilized riders and workers in every corner of Allegheny County to #VoteTransit on Election Day – and our efforts paid off.
But the hardest work is yet to come! And that’s why I’m asking you to take action and become an active member of Pittsburghers for Public Transit . The opportunity to shape the future of transit in Allegheny County is truly at hand, but we’re going to need everyone to achieve the transit justice we deserve. Here at PPT, we ride together, and that means with you. [[link removed]]
In Solidarity,
Sascha Craig
