Solutions to the climate crisis and the cost-of-living crisis aren't at odds—they go hand in hand. As our Executive Director Johanna Bozuwa said in The Guardian, "using affordability as a cudgel to weaken climate policy is a major error that will not solve either crisis, ultimately amplifying both."

ICYMI: Better buses are within our reach and will save people on and off the bus both time and money.
What better way to prove that government investment can improve lives and scarce urban public space is worth reallocating to more equitable and efficient uses?
🚍NEW REPORT: Buses are the backbone of US public transit, with half of all trips happening on buses. Making them fast and free is key to lowering the cost of living, expanding freedom of movement for the working class, and cutting emissions 🧵
