To truly reclaim streets for people and make them safe and accessible for all, we need to address what that means in terms of culture, class, race, identity, and community.

The Untokening will bring together leaders of color, advocates of and from marginalized communities and and allies to create a new paradigm for mobility.

Held immediately following the Facing Race (a national conference on race in policy) in Atlanta, the Untokening will center intersectionality and, through collaboration that embraces our expertise and the expertise of our communities, create a series of equity statements on critical issues, like gentrification and community engagement.
