Too many elected officials claim that their constituents don’t care about public transit, that they don’t hear much about it from their community. We need your help to prove them wrong!!
TRU is partnering with MOSES to hold a series of public transit rallies in each county to clearly show our elected officials how much people care and to challenge them to take real leadership in making it happen. The first event will be in Oak Park on June 16.
Help us lead the leaders – you can help make this event a huge success in three ways:
1. Come to the Oakland County Public Transit Rally on Monday, June 16 at 7pm at Temple Emanu-El (14450 W. 10 Mile Road in Oak Park)
2. Bring lots of friends. Help spread the word to your friends, neighbors, co-workers, other organizations, etc. We need to pack the room to send a strong statement about the importance of public transit to Oakland County.
3. Ask your elected officials to attend, including mayors, city councilors, county commissioners, and state and federal legislators. (They should have received a faxed invitation already. Your call will help ensure they attend.) This is a critical opportunity for them to show their commitment to being a leader on public transit.
We especially need Oakland County residents to attend. But even if you’re not from Oakland County, you’re welcome to come anyway. We’ll also be holding additional rallies: a Macomb County transit rally in Roseville on June 30 and a Wayne County transit rally tba.
