As I navigated the uncertainty of the pandemic as a transit-dependent college student, I realized the importance of advocacy to protect our public transit system.
Supervisor Chavez's support transformed our small campaign into a significant movement to save VTA transit service, demonstrating the power of youth engagement during crises.
After months of struggle against proposed transit cuts, federal stimulus funding finally gave us the means to restore and expand transit services in our community.
The experience taught me that community advocacy and collaboration can lead to substantial changes in public policy, especially during challenging times.
