What’s the Flux: An Orca Card Makes a Difference for Students

Rainier Beach High School Sophomore, Mariam Bayo at her bus stop.

Today we unmute the commute with Mariam Bayo. Mariam Bayo was one of 50 students who received an ORCA card in the fall. But Bayo didn’t stop fighting for other students to have ORCA cards.

Here’s her dispatch.
