Get Bart Reed a place to live and back on track!

Friends across Los Angeles and beyond, Bart desperately needs our help.

A coalition of public transit advocates have organized this GoFundMe on behalf of our fellow transportation advocate Bart Reed. If you are wondering why Hilary Norton is listed as the "beneficiary," on GoFundMe it is because she is the fund manager to ensure that all donations will be used to support Bart's recovery.

Many of you may know Bart from his role as CEO of The Transit Coalition or from his work at Sierra Club. Those who do not know Bart Reed personally, should know that he has worked tirelessly for decades to help Los Angeles move towards a green and equitable future. Now he’s the one who needs help.

Bart and his 18 year-old cat, Flying Ace, have been evicted from their home, after exhausting all legal remedies. While Bart has a place to stay temporarily, he needs a long-term affordable living arrangement.

Bart is 73 and a person with disabilities, who walks with a rollator (wheeled walker with a built in seat for resting). He is diabetic and relies on a car and uses public transit to get to and from doctors appointments as he can not walk long distances.

Bart needs our financial help. He is only receiving disability and social security payments, and has amassed significant debt that needs our immediate attention and support.

We are organizing this GoFundMe campaign to help establish an account to help Bart with debt and living expenses, so that he can get back on his feet. Your help will be life-changing and very appreciated.

Jeremy, Hilary, Denny, Marlene, Eli, and Other Friends of Bart Reed
