And I got to participate with a special ride in the cargo bike box (was sedated yesterday for day surgery and not allowed to drive).15 May 2026 12:54 +0000at://did:plc:ass2iwphbbph5unx3xlc7oam/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlvevz3pbk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/cassiesmith.bsky.social/post/3mlsq5mlxu22r"The court heard Sidhu, who had been working for 26 hours and driving for about 16 straight, was travelling at the truck’s maximum speed of 108 kilometres per hour, nearly double the 60 kilometres per hour reduced speed limit." And destroyed this family and community. 💔 We deserve safer streets.

Looking forward to learning from and building on the bold action women are leading on around the world.
