Tonight: RAGE meets to write "SEPTA Bill of Rights"

Riders Against Gender Exclusion (RAGE), the folks who've lobbied SEPTA to get rid of its gendered TransPass, are holding a town hall meeting tonight to discuss how our transportation authority screws over other folks, as well:

Fed up with discriminatory policies and an unresponsive SEPTA administration, a group of transit riders will gather Wednesday to compose the first SEPTA Riders Bill of Rights. Citing biases against elderly riders, riders with disabilities, and transgender and gender non-conforming riders, the group hopes to create a compilation of riders' rights and establish standards of treatment for all SEPTA passengers.

It's from 6 to 8 p.m. at FIGHT (1233 Locust St., fifth floor, 215-985-4448).
