Barnali Ghosh<p>I'm grateful to be effectively elected to the BART Board of Directors, representing District 3. Things become official in November.</p><p>My team’s strategy of starting early and my being engaged in this work for over a decade paid off and the filing deadline went by with no one else filing to run. This means that I'll not be on your ballot, and that makes me a little sad. </p><p>I've marked many milestones since the start of COVID by doing a recreation. And here's one inspired by Rosie the Riveter, that celebrates this moment.</p><p>I picked the iconic Rosie the Riveter image since it's connected to the City of Richmond, which is in my district, but with colors to match the BART logo and instead of rolling up my sleeves the pose celebrates strength. Though truth be told, knowing that BART is in a fiscal deficit due to COVID and underinvestment in our public transit systems, the work is just beginning.</p><p>Join the movement at <a href="https://www.barnaliforbart.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">barnaliforbart.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PublicTransit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicTransit</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BART" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BART</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/unfaithfulrecreations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unfaithfulrecreations</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/rosietheriveter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rosietheriveter</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Election2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Election2024</span></a></p>
