#BusLineHeroes Fundraiser for Lebanon drivers

We’re teaming up with our grassroots sister organization in Beirut, Riders’ Rights Lebanon, to raise some funds to support struggling transit workers.

Lebanon’s transit workers don’t have a labor union, minimum wages or unemployment insurance like our bus drivers do here. In March the government shut down the country’s bus and van networks as part of its COVID-19 emergency response. Transit workers, who were already living on the edge, now have no source of income and nowhere to turn.

Riders’ Rights Lebanon and Train/Train Lebanon are organizing to provide a little assistance for the struggling transit workers in their networks. Lebanon was already in turmoil before COVID-19. Here in Seattle, we’re stepping up to help.

Thank you for your support and solidarity!
