Last year there was an effort to form a Transit Riders Union. I don’t know the official state of that effort (someone please comment and tell us) but I understand that effort has factionalized somewhat.
Now OPAL (Organizing People – Activating Leaders), a local environmental justice organization, is working on organizing TriMet riders, using principles gleaned from the Los Angeles Bus Riders Union.
OPAL is holding a monthly meeting from 6-8pm every second Tuesday (next up on April 13th) at their offices:
2407 SE 49th Ave, Portland
