Primary care-givers, please join GSAC’s Caregiver Club Alex Maxim, Katie Evans and several other parents (and expectant parents) in CEE as they discuss struggles, successes and just share laughter and fellowship.  All genders are welcome!
Gathering will occur on the third Thursday of the month, starting on February 17th, Thursday at 4pm, virtual: https://bluejeans.com/145475465/1649

DEI in CEE — Jacob Tzegaegbe, Via Transportation (TOMORROW 1/26/22 @ 5:00pm on BlueJeans)

Seminar Announcement – DEI in CEE – Jacob Tzegaegbe

 

Jacob Tzegaegbe

Transportation as a means to deepen or bridge divides

Jacob Tzegaegbe Director of Expansion Via Transportation

ABSTRACT

The built environment does not exist by chance, nor is it impartial. Today’s streets are a result of yesterday’s policy, deliberate decision making, and/or deliberate inaction. Thus, transportation is as much a tool to connect as it is to divide people from communities, amenities, and opportunities. In this talk, we’ll look at the impact of transportation over time and how it has been used (purposefully or with good intentions) to divide, displace, and discriminate. You may even learn that to see evidence of this type of division you may have to look no further than your nearest street sign.
