The Kansas City chapter of @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social We're young people fighting for climate justice and collective liberation. #GreenNewDeal Better Buses for KC 🚌

BRU Launch Rally: Feb 20th, 4 pm Rally, 5 pm Canvass at 31st & Troost Park and Ride on February 20 at 4pm to officially launch Kansas City Bus Riders Union and demand that KCMO City Council fully fund buses to prevent the loss of routes and current hours of operation. Afterwards, we're going to canvass bus stops to invite bus riders to join the BRU and attend the upcoming budqet hearings! Then, we'll celebrate together! We deserve a bus system that serves us and doesn't leave us in the dust.
Who's the BRU for? The BRU is for bus riders and their allies - for all Kansas Citians who want to improve the place they live and love and be there for their neighbors. It's for the single mom, the person trying to get to their job, the elderly, students, and children. It's for the working class, those trying to get back on their feet, the friends and family trying to stay connected. It's for you. We aren't leaving anyone behind.
For many years, the bus system in Kansas City has been under threat, leaving bus riders stranded and uncertain about the future of our buses. WE DESERVE BETTER! A new chapter for buses in KC awaits... Follow along at @kcbusriders.bsky.social
