The Riders Alliance, an advocacy organization for subway and bus riders, is launching an initiatve to bring together Southern Brooklyn straphangers to demand improved public transportation services.

To kick off the initiative, they’re holding a brainstorming session on March 27, at 7:00 p.m., at the Homecrest Presbyterian Church (1413 Avenue T). It’s an any-idea-goes kind of event.

The group has been going neighborhood to neighborhood since it formed in 2012 and setting up local, grassroots coalitions to advocate for improved service.

From their [website](http://www.ridersny.org/mission-statement/?ref=bklyner.com):

> We believe that lawmakers respond best to their own constituents, and that an organized group of local residents, trained and empowered to demand results, fills an important gap in transit advocacy, helping win the **sustainable, long-term funding needed to fix public transit in New York**.

[You can sign up to attend here](http://salsa.ridersny.org/p/salsa/event/common/public/?event%5FKEY=76414&ref=bklyner.com). There’ll be snacks.
