“Mental illness is the number one cause of disability worldwide”. You will find this lesser-known fact on the website of Dr. Michelle Furuta, a practicing psychiatrist located in Torrance, CA. Changing Tides was first introduced to Dr. Furuta when she spoke in May of this year at the inaugural CWe can't talk about the future of transit in LA without talking about low-income transit riders. Real action must be taken to prevent low-income Angelenos from displacement. This is Joey's story. https://t.co/UtnuuA8l4A #PeoplesTransit #TOCWeekofAdvocacy
