On Wednesday, October 9th Green Action Centre & Peg City Car Co-op will welcome Arrested Mobility’s Charles T. Brown to Winnipeg. Tickets are now on sale for Equitable Cities: How to liberate those caged by our transportation system.

GET YOUR TICKETS

Charles T. Brown is the founder and principal of Equitable Cities, a minority- and veteran-owned urban planning, public policy and research firm focused at the intersection of transportation, health and equity. He is also an adjunct professor at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University. He is the host of Arrested Mobility, a podcast that asks: What can we do to change the outcomes when people of colour step out their door to exist in the world?

In this keynote presentation, Charles addresses how our transportation system in Winnipeg, like communities across the country, underserves and disproportionately harms those who are most vulnerable. By understanding inequities in our transportation system, Charles identifies potential strategies for action.

The audience for this presentation will leave the event with a greater understanding of the history of our transportation system across North America, and be inspired to correct past injustices to bring better health, equity and liberation to all.

Following the keynote, attendees will be invited to participate in discussions to bring the themes of the keynote into our local context.

Get your Early Bird tickets are available while stock lasts, or until July 31st. Use the promo code: ECEARLYBIRD to save!
