Hey #Missouri friends: if you got the text below today, it is a lie.
The RNC seems eager to spread misinformation in an effort to uphold the illegal gerrymander adopted earlier this year.
Sign the petition, then follow @peoplenotpolsmo.bsky.social to see how to get involved!

An enormous thank you to everyone who came out this morning to join @bikewalkkc.bsky.social for the #WorldDayofRemembrance rally in #KCMO.
Traffic violence is a policy choice. WDoR enables us to hold space for those harmed and recommit ourselves to creating safer streets for everyone.

Russell is not only a great ambassador for the Community Transportation Academy, but also a perfect example of the idea that advocacy is a contact sport.
That means things don't change unless we get involved and speak up.
Well done Russell! And thanks to his mom for sharing these pics! (5/5)

The crash is reported to have happened at the intersection of 23rd Street and Emery. Looking at the streetview, several elements stand out:
- wide street (5 lanes)
- no dedicated crosswalk at or close by the intersection
- somewhat limited lighting
- no signage to tell drivers of pedestrians (2/6)

For me, the childhood fever dream movie was Cats Don't Dance. Such a good movie, and *Natalie Cole* was the singing voice for one of the main characters!

What are gentrification and displacement? How do those elements intersect with #transportation?
@bikewalkkc.bsky.social explored this topic for Week 5 of our Community Transportation Academy. Big thank you to Triveece for presenting on this and the Reconnecting the East Side planning effort!

#KCMO and Jackson County, remember that there is a special election today!
For the record, I voted NO. I don't think our current county executive has done a good job, but I don't like the alternatives that are most likely to replace him. (1/2)

Week 4 of the Community Transportation Academy is in the books. This week, @bikewalkkc.bsky.social explored aspects of #transit and #multimodal infrastructure!
A huge thank you to Deasiray Bush, Lisa Womack, and Lukas Yanni for sharing their wisdom and passion with our participants.

Sucks that we're not playing in October, but at least we weren't out of it by the All-Star Break.

Last week, I got the chance to attend the RE-AMP Summit in Cedar Rapids, IA!
It was a great opportunity to connect with #sustainability advocates across the Midwest. I also moderated a panel on how to work with state and federal elected officials.
The work continues.

Dem legislators and Missourians across the state aren't going down quietly. Along with countless others, I submitted testimony in opposition to both measures before committee hearings begin today. You can see portions of them below. (6/7)

First, #moleg is attempting to redraw the maps for our congressional delegation from 6R-2D map to a 7R-1D map.
They plan to do this by cracking the 5th District (largely Kansas City) across 3 newly drawn districts. See below. (2/7)

Week 2 of the Community Transportation Academy is in the books!
This week was about #transportationinsecurity, so @bikewalkkc.bsky.social organized a walk audit to help participants craft a better understanding of the built environment from the #pedestrian perspective.
