20230419 Untangling Transportation - Show Me Some Down and Dirty Advocacy Originally Broadcasted April 19, 2023, on ACB Media 6
Grass-roots advocacy is important, but it can be grueling work. On April 10, the transit agency serving the metropolitan St. Louis area cut its Call-a-Ride paratransit program with minimal public notice, and against tremendous community opposition. This opposition was organized by leaders from a handful of disability community organizations, including the Missouri Council of the Blind. On this month’s Untangling Transportation, Robyn Wallen, a St. Louis County resident and MCB’s Transportation Committee Chairperson, joined us to share the story of paratransit cuts in St. Louis, the efforts the community undertook to stop them, and the lessons she learned in the process. Our conversation was detailed and specific, and touched on the kind of tactics that local advocates can use when they are deep in the trenches on a tough advocacy fight.
