Ten #bansuv Twitter Users to Follow

Interested in the rising topic of banning SUVs.   Here are ten Twitter accounts worth following:

Act Urgently! Just found this account very recently and it has great tweets and retweets.  And yes, we have no choice but to act urgently things are going bad fast. 

Angie Schmitt Calls the account the SUV anti-stan account.   She is currently working on writing a book about the pedestrian safety crisis.   Tweeting about safe streets (and other topics) from Ohio. 

Betsy Gamrat - What is particularly impressive is that Betsy is tweeting us not from a major city, but from New Hampshire.    Lots of great anti-suv tweets and takes on the automobile makers. 

CJ Wojo Coming to US from NY, if you like dogs, banning SUVs and dogs that want to ban SUVs than following CJ is a must. 

Courtney Babb Lecturer in urban planning coming to us from Perth in Australia.    Another account full of great anti-suv and pro-people tweets and retweets. 

Dublin Velo 2019 As I was looking for number 10, I went to my Twitter to find I had just been followed by this account and upon looking at it I love it!   Granted we don't think Mars is far enough for Elon Musk.  After all they are always discovering new far away dwarf planets.

Lloydalter  Has written a number of good quality anti-suv articles for Treehugger.com.  Here is one of his more recent articles on this subject.

Richard Campbell Representing Canada (Vancouver) we admire Richard's persistence and frequent use of the #bansuv hashtag. 

Sam Also representing a diversity of places Sam comes to us from Minneapolis.   Accounts features a whole variety of great tweets about cars, suvs, and other topics. 

Travis R. Eby Tweeting from NYC Perhaps, not a ban SUV account so much as a ban all cars account (which I also agree with).   Good strong posts. 


I realize there are many more excellent #bansuv Twitter accounts out there and hope to include more of you in the future.  As some of you may have noticed I also tried to include people from a variety of places.   I also apologize for those of you not on the list.    If you would like to be included in a future list please comment below or on the social media post where this has been tweeted and I will look into your account and the possibility of including it in a future list.  And don't forget the #bansuvs tag!

                                   

A few of my books above!  Buying my books is a great way to support this blog and hopefully even better future projects to create real Vision Zero.

What's the deal with J Street (IMHO)

 IMHO, J street is just another form of Zionism, that uses a different tactic that appeals to a more liberal/left wing audience.    In my op...
