City of Dallas Adopts Resolution to Support a Free-Fare Student Transit Program; DART to Consider a Student Program
The Dallas City Council approved a resolution in support of the development and implementation of a Student Transit Program offering free fares for kindergarten through twelfth grade students on DART’s bus and rail transit system. DART is in the early stages of researching this potential program. Omar Narvaez, District 6 Councilmember and Chair of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee of the Dallas City Council, requested that the resolution be considered by the Council. It was unanimously supported by members of the Committee and 14-1 by the City Council.
Chairman Narvaez said, “The potential for a free fare program for school-age children is something the City Council overwhelmingly supported. The opportunity to remove barriers to accessing school, work and extra-curricular could be transformative for our community. DART is working expeditiously to study the financial, operational, legal and security factors. I look forward to seeing the next steps when they are available.”
DART has begun their preliminary discussions to vet a Student Transit Program in the context of their broader agency goals, which will be presented at a future date to be considered by the board of directors. “Board members Jon Killen and Hosanna Yemiru have been instrumental in bringing this idea forward for study. The agency will examine the pros and cons of a variety of student fare subsidy programs as part of our comprehensive fare policy study,” said DART Board Chair Michele Wong Krause.

Cities Deal With Racially Motivated Shootings
By Emily Dietzmann
With the recent shooting and murder of 10 African Americans in Buffalo, NY last week and several shootings of Blacks and Asians in Dallas, some are saying that racially-motivated murders must be identified and prosecuted quickly.
The 18-year-old shooter in Buffalo who has been apprehended, travelled from hours away live streamed the event as he walked through the parking lot and into the Top’s Friendly Market supermarket, opening fire, said Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia, at a press conference following the event. The suspect was fully armed in tactical gear.
“This was pure evil,” said Erie County Sheriff John Garcia. “It was a straight-up racially motivated hate crime from somebody outside of our community, outside of the city of good neighbors as the mayor said coming into our community and trying to inflict that evil upon us.”

What About Your Friends?
By Dr. Froswa Booker- Drew
Recently, I posted a video about the importance of connections. As much as self-care is important, I think we miss so many opportunities to heal when we allow ourselves to be in community. There is power in our fellowship and our conversations. There is power in our narratives. Listening to the testimonies and journeys of others can inspire us, can empower us, and can affirm us. Our healing can also be found in our relationships. Building connection and community is critical. It is important in many ways, especially for our mental health.

MY TRUTH: Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop!
By Cheryl Smith
Publisher
While I could reference several pandemics that we didn’t identify as such while growing up in Newark, New Jersey; only slavery had such a devastating death toll on Black people, that is prior to COVID-19.
As of May 7, 2022 the CDC reported 998,408 total deaths in America, with 15-20% being Black and still the World Health Organization reports a significant undercount.
According to Dallas County Health and Human Services, “a total of 6,427 Dallas County residents have lost their lives due to COVID-19 illness.”
And it’s not over.
Daily I receive reports about the number of new cases and deaths related to COVID-19.
My message to everyone, you’d better get to living because the reality of life and death has become more “real” since COVID.
Which brings me to my truth.
I received a purse for Mother’s Day and the message inscribed was so significant to me: “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop."
