Today, Feb. 4, is the birthday of Rosa Parks, whose act of resistance in refusing to give up her seat on the bus sparked the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1956.
This Feb. 4, we plan to join the Labor Network for Sustainability on Transit Equity Day as they connect Rosa Parks’ act of nonviolent resistance to the rights of all people to high-quality public transportation run on clean energy. You should, too.
“Urban transit systems in most American cities have become a genuine civil rights issue because the layout of rapid-transit systems determines the accessibility of jobs.”

Sky News host Rowan Dean has questioned the evidence for climate change, citing temperatures drawn from satellite data to claim there has been no global warming.
However, experts say Mr Dean’s apparent “cherry-picking” approach misrepresents the climate data and relies on figures that don’t properly gauge worldwide temperature changes.
In a segment on January 19, Mr Dean – who has previously called climate change “the biggest hoax of them all” – claimed climate activists had “disappeared under the doona” during a cool Australian summer, going on to question whether global temperatures were increasing.
