"My grandmother always taught me to fight for what is right."
A message from Teaira Collins, PPT Member and Leader of the 93-Hazelwood Campaign:
My son Judah is the light of my life. He has down syndrome and we never know when we’ll need the 93 to get us from our home in Hazelwood to Children’s Hospital, but it doesn’t run on weekends! That route also gets me and my neighbors to the closest grocery store. We were confused when the City proposed a shuttle from the Hazelwood Green development site to the universities in Oakland. The shuttle wouldn’t give residents access to hospitals, grocery stores, pharmacies, or jobs in other parts of the city. There had to be a better way.
