Transit Riders Union (c4)
2024 Programs
TRU staff and volunteers will have in-person conversations with riders at transit hubs in Seattle about Initiative 2117 and the impacts of repealing the CCA—especially on our transit system. We will urge people to vote NO on I-2117. We will also text our members and supporters and register voters.
Mission
The Transit Riders Union is a democratic organization of working and poor people — including students, seniors and people with disabilities — taking control over our own lives, and building up the power we need to change society for the good of humanity and of the planet. We will fight to preserve, expand, and improve the public transportation system in Seattle and beyond, so that every human being has access to safe, affordable, and reliable public transit.
