The Environmental Justice Resource Center at Clark Atlanta University will host a premiere showing of Academy Award cinematographer Haskell Wexlers' BUS RIDERS UNION, a new documentary that traces three years in the life of the Los Angeles Bus Riders Union as it forges a powerful multiracial movement to fight transit racism, clean up LA's lethal auto pollution, and win billion-dollar victories for real mass transit for the masses.

BUS RIDERS UNION has important implications for multiracial organizing around transportation equity issues in Metro Atlanta since transit racism and transportation apartheid are major factors that have kept the region racially, economically, and spatially divided.

The film showing is a part of the EJRC's Atlanta Transportation Equity Project (ATEP). The viewing is free and open to the public. For more information on the ATEP, see http://www.ejrc.cau.edu/atepannouncement.htm.
