Meeting: Congestion Pricing Advocates – Activate!

7:09 PM EDT on September 30, 2007

Transportation Alternatives is planning a massive organizing effort to win congestion pricing, but they need boots on the ground to make it happen. Join T.A. at their first volunteer night for congestion pricing activists. They will lay out their street outreach, phone banking and organizing for the fall. Bring your calendars as they develop their five-borough strategy. Dinner provided!
