The Bottom-Up Revolution Is...Advocating for Safer Streets
Yamini Karandikar is the leader of Strong Towns San Antonio, a Local Conversation in Texas that advocates for safer streets and alternative transportation.

Professionally, she works in process improvement strategy within the electric and gas industry.
In this episode of The Bottom-Up Revolution, Karandikar talks with host Tiffany Owens Reed about her advocacy journey, what it’s like to conduct a Crash Analysis Studio, and how doing so changed her community for the better.
