Mon, April 17, 4:30pm @ the Hollywood Transit Center (NE south side of Halsey and NE 42)

Late last year, Trimet Directors backed a proposal to raise fares without giving the public any chance to respond. We need to make our voices loud and clear: we will NOT accept this decision to increase fairs without public input.

Join OPAL, 350PDX, Bus Riders Unite!, Sunrise PDX, and XRPDX on April 17 in launching 10 days of street theater leading up to April 26, when there will be an official vote on the fare increase. We will practice and then go out on transit to spread the word about the fare increase. We will be encouraging teams of two or three to do street theater at high volume transit stops during the days leading up to the hearing. Here are some sample scripts you can practice or improv from, or you could write your own (there will be silent roles as well).
