A person got killed on her commute because a driver treated her like air (as drivers tend to treat non-drivers around here) and literally just drove his truck over her. But thank you for trying to deflect and pretend like it's a class issue. I *bet* you'd totally care about this if it had been a blue-collar worker on their way to a bus stop, ya ghoul.

  1. People of color ride bikes. I see it in my neighborhood every day.
  2. Sorry, no one told me we can only work on one thing at the time. I had previously been led to believe that if any one policy, law, or other change didn't solve all societal ills then it wasn't worth doing.

these are transportation advocates, and yes they did organize events and vigils for those of color that were killed by bad drivers.

next you'll ask for people who run food banks to spend their time ending gun violence.

Do these people have to advocate for a policy change of your choosing before you will respect them?
