West Contra Costa Summer fundraiser party to save BART, buses, and paratransit!

​2026 is the most important year for Bay Area transit in recent memory. We need to pass the Connect Bay Area regional transit funding measure that will prevent devastating cuts to BART, AC Transit, paratransit, and transit throughout the region

​In support of the Connect Bay Area campaign, Seamless Bay Area & Transbay Coalition co-lead a massive signature gathering effort to get the initiative on the November ballot. This was the largest mobilization of Bay Area transit riders in decades with more than 1,000 volunteers activated across the Bay Area who collected more than 77,000 signatures.

​Now, we are preparing for the next phase of the campaign to win in November – and need your help. Come party it up while helping Seamless Bay Area & Transbay Coalition get the resources they need to sustain and scale up their organizing in the East Bay and throughout the Bay Area! Funding enables our organizations to train up more volunteers, engage with hundreds of organizations, and more.

​The event will be in a private residence near the #7 line in
East Richmond Heights, near Mira Vista Elementary (exact Location upon RSVP). Children are welcome and childcare will be provided.

​This event is sponsored by The Magnificent Seven, a rider advocacy group. We encourage you to ride the #7 bus to the event near the Barrett & Tulare stop. Board the 2:03pm northbound from Arlington Park @ Brewster, or the 2:30pm southbound from El Cerrito del Norte Station. The event is a 30 minute walk from Del Norte BART.
