> Ericka,
> 
> The Voices for Public Transit/American Public Transportation Association joint #Rally4Transit is just days away!
> 
> During the #Rally4Transit on Tuesday, Oct. 10, we will be engaging in a series of actions to make it clear to Congress to reject the Administration’s proposed cuts to public transit. We also must ensure Congress includes public transportation as a part of any new infrastructure initiative.
> 
> All day long, we will be flooding Congress’s offices, email boxes, and social media feeds with messages supporting public transit funding. To prepare for the #Rally4Transit, please take these two advance actions if you haven’t already done so:
> 
> Sign up for our “Thunderclap”
> This collective social media blast — thousands of Tweets and Facebook posts all at once — will show Congress there is deep and widespread support for public transportation.
> Sign our Change.org Petition
> Together, we’re calling on Congress to renew our nation’s historic support for public transportation.
> By taking these actions now, you can help make our #Rally4Transit a great success. It takes just a few minutes to sign up for our Thunderclap and sign our petition.
> 
> You can help drive home the message that cutting public transit funding will hurt American families, communities, and local economies — and take our nation’s transportation infrastructure in the wrong direction. Congress must include investment in public transit as part of any new infrastructure initiative. Thank you for being part of this critical movement!
