#adventureplay at its core is radical & creates community, therefore it MUST be actively participating in the antiracism struggle.

Media shapes society and change will come by diversifying the people who frame the narrative. We've pledged our support for #EqualityinAudio with @BroccoliContent and encourage others in our industry to do similarly... Sign the pledge and take action. forms.gle/mHpWyaPxh5KLhGfn6

Air pollution has decreased by 61%
No traffic deaths since 2009
12,000 people have moved into the city since the ban came in force in 1999
The mayor has been re-elected 4 times.
Should we ban cars in cities? #cities #transport
