Very proud of the team that put this together. Video is a great way to tell the story of what will be bulldozed for TxDOT's I-35 expansion to 20 lanes through central Austin.

TxDOT’s planned expansion of I-35 will demolish local homes & businesses, compounding on a historical legacy of eminent domain & property takings. Watch the full video: youtu.be/miwiEF0pOuc

Seventy years ago, highways were sold as progress, essential to our future prosperity. Today, we're uncovering a different story. Join this conversation with journalist and author, Megan Kimble to discuss her new book.

Amazing article by the incomparable @megankimble So proud to be part of this movement. There is great benefit in sharing experiences, resources, networks, and friendships.

There's a new generation of freeway fighters. They are young and old, increasingly diverse, and galvanized by climate change. And they are going national.
I went to Cincinnati last month to cover the first-ever freeway fighters summit for @CityLab bloomberg.com/news/features/…
