Greetings, transit warriors! It’s that time–our monthly meeting is THIS Saturday, June 9th! Join us from 12-2 at the Gaston Community Center in South Memphis (1046 S. Third) as we talk about state-wide transit issues, the end of budget season, and how to talk to riders about their transportation needs. And remember, you can get to Gaston on the #17 McLemore and #39 South Third. See you there!
MBRU is also proud to introduce our new intern, William McLain! William is a rising junior at Rhodes College studying Anthropology/Sociology. This summer, he’ll be spending time with us learning about Memphis transit and the many different aspects of community organizing. Welcome to the group, William!
Finally, our friends in Memphis labor are taking a day trip to Nashville next month! The Central Labor Council of Memphis & West TN, Fight for $15, and other groups will be going to the state capital on June 11th, to demand union rights and an end to poverty. Find out more here!
