While #BART riders spent much of Thursday's virtual #BARTBoard meeting making a case to defund the agency's police department, comments from a member of the #BARTBoard had at least one colleague condemning the statements as "vicious, toxic and racist."

To the speaker at the #BARTBoard #BARTMtg who said I don’t feel threatened by fare evasion, let’s not criminalize poverty, and examine what makes us feel safe... 🙏😭✊

I was proud to co-author this letter to @SFBART Board of Dirs w Mayor @JesseArreguin & CM @BenBartlettCA
We request that #bartboard include N Berk & Ashby stations in their 5 year work plan for transit-oriented development.
Let's create more affordable homes!
BART Board received letter from Berkeley Mayor @JesseArreguin, Councilmembers @BenBartlettCA & @RashiKesarwani urging BART to prioritize moving forward with housing development at Ashby & North Berkeley BART stations. Great to see strong support & urgency from Berkeley electeds!

Thank you to our elected transit leaders for supporting housing near jobs and transit!
We need #MoreHOMES for all, and our #BARTBoard is stepping up!
Thrilled that the BART Board just voted to support Senator @Scott_Wiener’s #SB50 to increase housing near transit and jobs. It will help address housing crisis & increase transit ridership. Thanks Directors @RaburnForBART @JaniceForBART @BevanDufty & @MARKforBART for supporting!
BART unanimously approves privacy ordinance that would allow private right of action, 60 equipment testing period #BARTBoard
Motion for the Lake Merritt lot EBALDC/Strada development approved unanimously. #BARTBoard
There appears to be widespread support on #BARTBoard for Lake Merritt project, though Debra Allen and Tom Blalock criticize for eating up 200 parking spaces, Allen says she would not allow this kind of project in her community (Contra Costa suburbs)
New push to build more 3-bedroom units for families in Oakland, high percentage in family affordable building in EBALDC/Strada project @ Lake Merritt BART -- #BARTBoard
Now BART’s board attempts to vote on safety plan. But they’ve introduced highly confusing substitute motions. It’s unclear to many board members what they’re voting on.
#BARTBoard
One of many conflicting sentiments on display at #BARTBoard

BART director McPartland: “The ACLU is a pain in my side. And I mean that as a compliment.”
#BARTBoard
BART director Dufty: “the murder of Nia Wilson was, I believe, someone acting out of racial hatred.”
But district attorney O’Malley has said there is zero evidence that Cowell committed a hate crime. No apparent links to white supremacist groups.
#BARTBoard
Raburn says he’s supportive of expanding/updating surveillance cameras and use of “some aspects” of video analytics,but he wants BART to adopt a privacy policy first.
#BARTBoard
Saltzman says she’s concerned BART isn’t being transparent by trying to adopt new surveillance tech before adopting a comprehensive surveillance tech policy. #BARTBoard
BART director Blalock says when he was a kid he’d ride the cable car and one conductor would yell: “hey, rat in your neighbor if he didn’t pay!”
#BARTBoard
. @mikechaseRights of ACLUNC says BART is violating the spirit of 2 years of talks with civil rights and privacy groups to create policies that would govern how the district adopts new surveillance technology. #BARTBoard
Lots of dissent from public speakers at #BARTBoard regarding proposals to crack down on fare evasion, add cops, build out surveillance camera system, ban panhandling.
One speaker: “do not legislate out of fear of a bad headline.”

Oakland Privacy Commissioner Brian Hofer says BART police and GM installed a license plate scanner system despite a board vote against it. Data is accessible to ICE through NCRIC. He asks, where’s the transparency?
#BARTBoard
One BART Director has suggested face surveillance in the BART transit system. Though not on today’s agenda, 9 Bay Area civil rights & racial justice orgs & the community at large are speaking out: this tech is dangerous, biased & has no place in the BART system. #BARTBoard
Here's why many are opposed to using facial recognition on BART. They say it's a highly inaccurate tool that leads to dangerous false IDs. But even if it were 100% accurate, that too would be dangerous. It could be used for immigration enforcement or silencing political dissent.
