Take Action for a Better Metro
Without stable, effective Metro service, our region would face an overwhelming increase in traffic congestion and air pollution. Join with the Sierra Club Metro DC and talk to our neighbors one-on-one about Metro's long-term funding crisis, and about action they can take to ensure a future with more and better Metro service.
Meet up at the Southeast Branch Library (403 Seventh St. NE) at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 7, for training and discussion (bagels and coffee provided!), then go out to talk to your neighbors in the Eastern Market area. Stick around to join in for an after-event lunch social at a local restaurant. To volunteer, send an email to chris.carney@sierraclub.org with your name, phone number, address, and availability. For more information, contact the Sierra Club Metro DC Office at 202/237-0754 or www.sierraclub.org/dc/sprawl, or visit the group's Metro system webpage.
