Mobility Justice From the City of Austin Imagine Austin program – Mobility Justice is one of the crucial political and ethical issues of our day in the midst of a global climate crisis and the extreme challenges of urbanization. – Mimi Sheller, author of Politics of Movement in the Age of Extremes.
Please join us as we welcome Dr. Lugo, who will share her work on a building movement called “mobility justice,” the practice of accounting for the diverse vulnerabilities that individuals carry with them as they travel through shared public spaces. How can cities, including Austin, use mobility justice to guide future investment in transportation systems? What is Austin doing right now to offer more affordable mobility options for vulnerable populations and communities?

I guess this lunatic is just helping to keep Austin weird, although I can’t see that there is a need for that-I don’t remember Austin ever being anything BUT weird...
Social justice is what people without real problems have time to fantasize about.
Hey, it’s Austin where mentally ill and deficient are housed if they get thrown out of Ca, Wa, or Or.
Piece of cake. The Frost Bank Tower garage at 4th and Congress will only run your about $30 for 3 hours.
“What do we want?!”
“SUBWAYS”
“When do we want them?”
“NOW!”
How ironic. My book "Guns: Race, Culture & Resistance" was published the same year!
Let’s have some “sanity” justice or “reality” justice. Exile these lunatics from this relatively civil society. What absolute Nitwittery!
No justice regarding the rule of law.
But, social justice, mobility justice, lgbtrpxmno justice...
Meanwhile the devil is laughing.
“Bkmk”?
