[Transit] Levy discussion & two actions

[Katie Wilson]

Hi All,

I attended a meeting today with allies about the Seattle transportation levy, discussing this advocates’ vision document <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_FkSXhWprQ7XRbqXewO5JiB5ZntjZCOGtPo3_mcWq00/edit#heading=h.drxknzxuw0pg> and also what it would look like to run a “no” campaign if the City’s proposal is really bad. There’s going to be a meeting next Monday 1/29 at 3pm to dig into the transit sections, which still need some work. Do any of you want to join that meeting? Let me know and I can add you to the invitation!

Also I wanted to make sure everyone in this group saw that we’re promoting two transit-related email actions, one to tell Sound Transit <https://actionnetwork.org/letters/the-weakest-link/> they need to do better for riders during the service disruption, and the other to prevent the Route 40 corridor project from being further delayed <https://actionnetwork.org/letters/fight-for-the-40/> or watered down. Please send those emails and share widely!
