The Untokening, in collaboration with Pueblo Planning, started convening a virtual conversation in April 2020 to share our concerns and visions for mobility justice in a COVID-19 world. The “COVID-19, Uprisings, & Mobility Justice” report summarizes our process, includes recaps of all five sessions, and reflections and learnings from the series as a whole.

City planning as a profession has contributed to violence and trauma of Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC).

What are alternatives to Amazon and other food delivery channels? There is a lot of the exploitation of these third party apps that try to keep rates down and minimize risk for themselves and increase profits for themselves. In this June 2020 Untokening Transformative Talk, we reflected upon the price of convenience.

What is the difference between “safety” and “security,” and how has the COVID-19 crisis puts another layer of surveillance in Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) communities? In this May 2020 Transformative Talk, Rio Oxas, Dominique Diaddigo-Cash and others explored alternatives to community safety that center the well-being of BIPOC, implements restorative justice, and operationalizes accountability.

In this Transformative Talk, co-facilitators co-facilitators Lynda Lopez, Midori Valdivia and Mariana Huerta along with community panelists shared their thoughts, experiences and recommendations on providing safety, support and dignity for transit drivers and riders.
