In fact, we’ve already won campaigns.
But there’s one key thing that all influential transit rider groups need:
Paid staff.

[Move Minnesota managed to unlock $450m of annual transit funding.]
[Move Minnesota has an annual budget of around $1.9 million Canadian dollars and most of that goes to staff.]
Each staff member can coordinate dozens of volunteers, write press releases and social media posts, meet with influential people, and more.
In our first year, 2024, we raised $50,000. That allowed us to hire our first person in December of that year. In 2025, we think we can raise $300,000, and end the year with 4 people on the team.
But it’s going to be a huge challenge, and we need your support to make it happen.
The good news is that you can get up to 46% back on your taxes.
So if you donate the equivalent of a TransLink one-zone pass every month, $107.30, that donation will only cost you $62.44/month.
