Streets are for People! celebrated Earth Day (April 22nd) by presenting a very special car to the Ontario Legislature. The "petition car" was stripped of its engine and painted white - a clean slate to bear the signatures of supporters.

The petition car bears the following message:

We the undersigned do hereby demand that not one more dollar go to promote, support, or perpetuate car culture. We want bike lanes, public transit and a train system. We want our public space back. We want local food, clean air, sustainable industry, a liveable future for our children, and an end to oil wars. We want to dance in the street. We want a government that values life over money.

Streets are for People! delivered the car and read the petition to the Legislature while they sat in session. Click here to read the full text of the document.
