Streets as a Stage for Democracy

Date and time
Thursday, June 12, 2025
In-person:
1:00 pm at 700 Boylston Street in Boston

In times of uncertainty and social upheaval, it takes vision and leadership to help people feel safe, empowered and included. Demonstrating that vision often means going public and taking your cause to the streets.

Reggie Ramos, the Executive Director of Transportation for Massachusetts, hosts a discussion with Tiffany Cogell of the Boston Cyclists Union, Katarina Torres Radisic of the Riders’ Transportation Access Group (RTAG), and Brendan Kearney ofWalkMassachusetts. Together they'll discuss the streets as shared spaces to ignite civil discourse and social cohesion. You'll hear about pedestrians, cyclists, and people with disabilities who interact with daily transportation as a tool for equity, democracy and collective action.
