We were so proud to be part of Saturday's funeral march & rally for public transit with Scott Wiener and hundreds of advocates.

Now we need everyone to call Gov. Newsom and other state leaders to ask they fund transit in the state budget.

These calls are fast & easy -- use the phone numbers below. Then simply tell a friendly staffer where you’re from, why transit matters to you, and ask that their member work with the governor on fully funding transit.

#SaveTransit #FundTransit

Made some calls to #SaveTransit today. One of the workers sounded a bit overwhelmed as she informed me she had been receiving a lot of calls on the subject, so I think it's working!

I really hate talking on the phone but it's not hard to prepare a few sentences and read it off, do it now!

Low income families and #peoplewithdisabilities rely on #publictransit. Marching today at the "funeral for #transit" to avoid forcing people of all walks of life into cars.#savetransit in #california

Today, a funeral for #publictransit @ civic center #sanfrancisco

#savetransit in #california. Write/call to Governor Newsom for #transit funding otherwise kiss our transit systems goodbye.

What happens if we don't #SaveTransit? Here's what downtown San Francisco would look like if the 50,000 people who currently BART in each day had to drive and park downtown instead.

50,000 cars = almost an entire square mile of parking.

Weekend/evening service would be first on the chopping block if transit doesn't get funding the the CA state budget.

Many events in San Francisco rely on transit to bring together people. The Pride Parade, Outside Lands, sports - even going out on Friday night - none of these events are possible without good transit service - there'd simply be no place for everyone to park.

While the headlines on the transit fiscal cliff have been about office jobs remaining remote, entertainment, arts, and tourism jobs are back - but will also be lost if transit service is cut back.

There's less than a month left in the California state budget process. Now's the time to ask your legislator to save transit. Tweet at them, call them, and sign the petition here: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/support-gap-funding-for-public-transportation

#Blahaj wants you to call your state Assemblymenber and Senator and ask for funding to #SaveTransit from the fiscal cliff
