Make Clean, Healthy and Equitable Transit an Infrastructure Priority
The pandemic disproportionately impacted communities served by nonprofits because of environmental conditions, and effective delivery of core nonprofit services requires clean, healthy, and equitable transit infrastructure.[/vc_column_text][ult_buttons btn_title=”Take Action Here” btn_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Findependentsector.quorum.us%2Fcampaign%2F33045%2F||target:%20_blank|” btn_size=”ubtn-custom” btn_width=”300″ btn_height=”50″ btn_title_color=”#ffffff” btn_bg_color=”#2492ba” btn_bg_color_hover=”#73b73e” btn_title_color_hover=”#ffffff” icon_size=”32″ btn_icon_pos=”ubtn-sep-icon-at-left” btn_font_family=”font_family:Dosis|font_call:Dosis|variant:700″ btn_font_style=”font-weight:700;” btn_font_size=”desktop:16px;” btn_line_height=”desktop:1px;”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” gap=”30″ content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1620234575383{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: #f4f4f4 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”20514″ img_size=”125×125″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]
