Friend --



For the duration of our Earth Day to May Day boycott of gasoline, I’m taking a leap that feels a little risky.



I’m riding the bus to work.



Now, I know that to many, many people that does not seem like a big deal — and if you live in a place with great public transit, I'm happy for you!



But I live in Indianapolis, which only just recently began real, desperately-needed investment in our bus lines after many years of neglect. Taking the bus stretches my usual ~20 minute commute to at least 1.5 hours (a best case scenario that assumes no delays).







I’m putting my values on the (bus) line to both support this gas boycott and draw attention to how reliable, functional public transit is inaccessible for way too many communities.



You can take part, too, by:



- Using public transportation, or bike or walk where you can.

- If you have to drive, consider organizing a carpool or limiting non-essential driving.

- Tell your elected officials – from city hall to Washington DC – to prioritize alternative transportation: sidewalks, bike paths & public transit. Help your neighbors to do the same.



You can also help the Green Party’s campaign for Transit Justice as part of a Green New Deal by supporting events and candidates in your area, and by donating to our nationwide organizing efforts at gp.org. <[link removed]>

Together, we can elect Greens and pressure the government to not only do what’s in the best interest of our communities, but also what is morally right: a just transition away from fossil fuels that puts People and Planet Over Profit!



In Solidarity,
