Free, Frequent and Electric Public Transit Campaign

Hamilton 350 is building an engaged local movement for urgent action and advocacy on the climate crisis we’re all facing.  They are looking for support for the Free, Frequent and Electric public transit campaign.

Please send Council Candidates our Pledge Letter this week – launch these from the https://www.govotehamilton.ca/take-action/write-your-candidates webpage, and tailor the template letter we have created if you desire, or send as is!

30 Council Candidates have pledged to date.  Here is the Pledge that Candidates are signing  https://www.govotehamilton.ca/candidate-pledge 

“As a candidate for elected office in the City of Hamilton, I pledge to support the formation of a Committee of Council to examine how the City can make the HSR frequent, clean, and fare free.”

There is excellent press coverage in the Spectator for the Hamilton 350 campaign, and they are encouraging everyone to send in their letters to the editor in support:
