🗳️ Early voting starts today!

✨ Today, we celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day by recognizing the rich history, vibrant cultures, and lasting contributions of Indigenous communities. 💜 The Carolinas are home to Indigenous people whose traditions and resilience shape our present and future. Let’s honor their stories — not just today, but every day — by learning, listening, and supporting Indigenous voices. 🟠 Take a moment to reflect on whose land you stand on and explore ways to uplift Indigenous communities near you.

💚 We LOVE this op-ed in Queen City Nerve by Rebekah Whilden! It perfectly explains why it's so important that we reduce our dependence on cars:  https://lnkd.in/g-eyBXJg 📢 "Investment in public transportation and bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure is essential for our community. It drives economic growth and opportunity by connecting people to jobs. It’s also impossible to address the climate crisis without expanding these options."

🤩Big thanks to everyone who came out to our Sustain Charlotte Social last week! We had a blast connecting with you, learning about our bus system, and discussing ways to improve public transportation for everyone. 💚 We simply love hanging out with folks who want to make positive changes in our community. It’s SO inspiring. If you haven’t been to one of our events yet, check our calendar at https://lnkd.in/eKA3PV8 and join in next time!
