Mobility Justice Resources
Mobility justice is a vision that centers our right to exist and move freely, safely and joyfully throughout our communities. It acknowledges that people’s identities and lived experiences shape how we move through streets, and seeks to address systemic inequities.
As bicycle advocates, we must recognize and account for the ways that white supremacy, sexism, classism and other oppressive systems have shaped bicycling and excluded marginalized communities. To build a more just and equitable transportation system, we must address society’s systemic inequalities, including those based on race, ethnicity, class, legal status, ability, gender, sexuality or age so that all people can experience the freedom to move and travel in ways that are meaningful to them.
We are grateful for the many thought leaders and organizers, namely the BIPOC women, who have labored to build out the movement for mobility justice with care. To learn more, visit People for Mobility Justice and The Untokening.
Below are some resources that our staff have found helpful as we ground ourselves in a shared vision and continue learning how to strengthen our framework for mobility justice.
