Great article on how Seattle Neighborhood Greenways and other advocacy
groups overcame a “war on cars” mantra that was poisoning the

It’s all about focusing on PEOPLE rather than things or identity groups.
FYI I had the great pleasure of attending a presentation by former

Gathering. A truly inspiring guy, I hope he runs for President!
