We gotta find the bicycle that caused this

As a kid in Texas, I never would've thought I'd someday get to make a video for a gubernatorial candidate. This one was a pleasure to work on and I hope you'll check it out! My home state deserves better than Greg Abbott!

[Bobby Cole for Governor @BobbyForTX]

My name is Bobby Cole and I'm running to be the next governor of the state of Texas. Who am I? In the words of Greg Abbott: FAFO.

Really think all government buildings should be this pretty

We’re in Albany fighting for the SAFE Streets package of bills, including Stop Super Speeders!

Read about the four bills and ask your repts to support: https://t.co/lttYkjSkme

Thanks to @amysohn for reporting on the coalition’s efforts for @StreetsblogNYC.

TABK in Albany!

congestion pricing is a policy miracle

[Ben Furnas @bfurnas]

HUGE - a victory for generations of activists and a major quality of life improvement for New Yorkers.

Never doubt the power of grit, passion, and comically-oversized golden scissors.

[Emily Watson @M_uh_lee]

4 - STOP SUPER SPEEDERS
Requires mandatory anti-speeding tech called intelligent speed assistance technology for repeat offenders.

S4045B | A2299B

[Emily Watson @M_uh_lee]

Come with me and @KathyParkPrice to Albany to advocate for the SAFE Streets Priority Bills and talk to state legislators about my injuries from getting doored last month

[Emily Watson @M_uh_lee]

3 - STOP AS YIELD
Allows cyclists to treat stop lights as stop signs and stop signs as yields, reducing vehicle conflict while prioritizing pedestrian right-of-way, and encouraging increased cyclist use of low-traffic, secondary roads.

S639 | A7071

@OsseChi Thank you for not giving up on this! So incredibly excited to see it finally happening

[Emily Watson @M_uh_lee]

This is huge!! "The NLRB Region in Los Angeles also found that Amazon engaged in a long list of egregious unfair labor practices at its Palmdale facility, including unlawfully refusing to recognize the workers’ decision to unionize with the Teamsters"

Every life lost to traffic violence is a policy failure.

Our leaders need to take action now to make our streets safer.

This begins with @NYCMayor adhering to the legally mandated Streets Plan & @GovKathyHochul reinstating congestion pricing to prevent crashes and save lives.

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

We are heartbroken by the tragic death of another pedestrian in Hell's Kitchen hit by an SUV — marking the 150th fatality within the congestion relief zone.

Congestion pricing means safer streets.

@GovKathyHochul, flip the switch.

[Brad Hoylman-Sigal 🌈🥯 @bradhoylman]

I chanced upon a man writhing on the sidewalk in Chelsea today in intense agony.

After calling 911 numerous times, we waited a full 37 minutes for emergency services to respond. Unacceptable.

Congestion pricing could reduce emergency response times and help save lives.

[Nolan Hicks @ndhapple]

The street grid is over capacity. You literally could not bring more people into Midtown or Lower Manhattan by car at this point, even if you wanted to.

So, if you want to get more people into Manhattan, you need to make more room. Mode-shift traffic, or you're stuck.

CONGESTION PRICING NOW
