Focus: Civil Rights
Action Request: Meeting
Location: Illinois, United States

IMPRUVE needs help to spread the word. We need minutemen to ride with us and for us in our human and civil rights cause.   We need class action lawyers to help with our litigation, as well as  law students and paralegals.  

We are fighting the oppression of Pace paratransit system.

IMPRUVE was founded in Feb. 2000 under sposorship of BNICEH. Fiscal agent:  Prevention Force Family Center. The IMPRUVE Paratransit Minuteman campaign was set up in 2008 to fight against disproportionate representation and disparate treatment of paratransit riders based on race, geographic location or low income. NE Illinois paratransit riders stand on the U.S. Constitution, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, Section 504 of the Rehab Act, Illinois Human Rights Act, Americans with Disabilities Act  (ADA) and Chicago Human Rights ordinance.  Paratransit riders across the country are banding together to additionally stand on the Declaration of Transit Freedom and Justice.

 

Visit www.home.comcast.net/~ayomaat See files at this site for a copy of the Declaration.

Next Green Paratransit Think Tank teleconference calls are Monday Feb. 16 10-11:15 am and Tues Feb. 17 3-4 pm  712-432-6131 PIN 100453#  If you miss, you can listen to recording if one was made. Call for replay information after the conference call at 773-416-7366 Meetings to be announced monthly.  All times are central time.

Thereafter, meetings will be weekly or monthly day, weekend or evening depending on which segment of the Think Tank meets and which stage the segment is in i.e. some possible segments: Green Paratransit, Affordable Housing Coop, Information Technology, Recycling, Engineering, Testing, Training, Home-based Green Business, 

Possible stages: Brainstorming, planning, building infrastructure, research and development, project testing, production, replication.  (Note: invitations to the think tank, team building, required technology, funding, proposal writing, individual and team training, and project documentation will be considerd within each stage)

Founded under the umbrella of BNICEH (be nicer), we are an organization for all paratransit riders regardless of race, age, location. We take pride in the work of those who went before us. People like Justin Dart, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Phyllis Doering blazed the trails in transit or disability rights.
