Greetings!

On Monday, February 13th, BSAC/YOB with 15 other organizations and over 400 people rallied against the MBTA's 

fare hikes and service cuts at the Boston Public Library. People came out to protest the changes to the MBTA fares and services, and rallied against how they would harm young people, seniors, disabled, and low-income individuals. 

Youth on Board and BSAC participated in the planning of this incredible showing of collaboration among organizations - the event was led by the Youth Affordabili(T) Coalition (YAC).  

See quotes from BSAC member Carlos Rojas and BSAC alumni Will Poff-Webster in the articles below!
