this day-long training we will learn about the racial and economic
inequities built into the Bay Area's public transit system as well as
current social justice campaigns working to reclaim public transit for
our communities. We will also highlight </span>the movement for building, fixing and riding bikes<span> as
one mode of transportation that can provide free, ecological and
self-reliant transportation for many folks in our communities, both
young and adult. There will be a skill-share on basic bike maintenance
