MBRU leaders Justin and Bennett recently wrote an article on Labor Notes taking a look back at the 31 Crosstown campaign so far! Labor Notes is a non-profit media and organizing project based in Detroit, MI that publishes stories about the labor movement, union campaigns, and economic justice.

We’ve also heard some concerns from bus riders about MATA’s new 31 Firestone bus route. MBRU has notified MATA of these concerns, and we’re currently waiting for a response. Contact us if you have any feedback about the 31 Firestone, or talk to MATA customer service at ridersfirst@matatransit.com!
Finally, our next general meeting is Saturday, September 9th from 12-2 PM! Because the Cossitt Library is undergoing renovations, we’ll be meeting instead at the Memphis Center for Independent Living, 1633 Madison Ave. It’s across the street from Cash Saver, and accessible via the #2 bus. Hope to see you there!
