America Walks has created a Communities Over Highways Campaign. The campaign asks for a moratorium on highways, and instead invest in:
- fix-it-first
- safety over speed
- make transit work
- reconnect communities
STAR and SABA have already signed on to the campaign, and individuals are encouraged to send letters to their elected representatives. For me, living in Sacramento, the letter goes to Governor Gavin Newsom, State Senator Angelique Ashby, Assemblymember Kevin McCarty, Representative Doris Matsui, Senator Alex Padilla, and Senator Laphonza Butler.
