White urbanists, particularly people who plan and advocate for streets and public spaces, the BIPOC women who lead this work are talking directly to you today and I want to make sure you hear them.

Don& #39;t just RT them, listen to them—and decide how you& #39;re going to take action.
If you are someone who has been talking about making streets healthy, safe, equitable—today would be a good day to examine that work and ask yourself if the work you are doing is specifically anti-racist. https://twitter.com/multimodalshrty/status/1266255196704784385">https://twitter.com/multimoda...
If you have spent time advocating for Vision Zero—today would be a good day to think about what "zero deaths" on city streets really means and how your work can grow to encompass, not ignore, that goal. https://twitter.com/bambinoir/status/1266338356943675392">https://twitter.com/bambinoir...
If you say that you want to build fair, just, inclusive cities—ask yourself these five questions from @TamikaButler. Every day.

Including, and perhaps most importantly: Why am I so afraid to be brave enough to confront my power and privilege? https://twitter.com/TamikaButler/status/1265892154804588545">https://twitter.com/TamikaBut...
It is notable that we are focused on Minneapolis, a city that white urbanists effusively praise for its complete streets, expanding bike network, and elimination of single-family zoning.

Minneapolis is one of the most unequal places in the country. https://twitter.com/staceyNYCDC/status/1266163708566306817">https://twitter.com/staceyNYC...
Over the last two months, Minneapolis has gotten national media attention for "opening" dozens of miles of streets in the name of "safety."

Who are they open for? How are they safe? https://twitter.com/bambinoir/status/1266042039684087808">https://twitter.com/bambinoir...
