“The Journey” represents the spiritual work Native peoples undertake to transform painful experiences into meaning and purpose. A powerful manifestation of this is the Canoe Journey.

Since 1989, Northwest Coastal Indians have participated in the Canoe Journey, traveling to villages along the ancestral highways of the Salish Sea. This spiritual commitment requires participants to be free from alcohol and drugs, offering profound healing for individuals, families, and tribes, especially those in recovery.

After organizing for fossil fuel divestment and environmental justice at Stanford, Charlie Jiang co-founded the DC ReInvest Coalition in Washington, DC. This coalition, part of the global #DefundPipelines movement, pressures the DC government to divest from banks linked to fossil fuel pipelines, private prisons, and predatory lending practices.

Instead, the Coalition advocates for reinvesting District funds into community-led solutions for DC's most under-resourced residents. Jiang provides strategic and narrative direction, helping organize advocacy efforts against fossil fuel extraction's environmental and community damage, including past support for the #NoDAPL movement.

Electric scooters, skateboards, and bicycles are increasingly prevalent in cities like San Francisco and Washington, D.C., sparking varied public reactions. Ride-hailing companies, including Uber and Lyft, are actively acquiring bike-sharing services, signaling a significant shift in urban transportation.

This surge in two-wheeled options raises critical questions about the future of urban mobility. Are these new solutions effectively addressing the notorious first-mile and last-mile transportation challenges?

Join Stuart Cohen, Sanjay Dastoor, and Megan Rose Dickey for a conversation on these new urban wheels, their impact on city travel, and their role in cutting carbon emissions.
