If you're so moved, here's the action alert to tell the DC Mayor to follow through on her commitment to ending traffic violence. We used this for World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims on Nov 19, 2023, but the message is relevant. #WDOR2023

Yesterday a few more @safestreetsdc.bsky.social signs were posted. A few requests/ crashes came close to or right after #WDOR2023. After taking some time for some much needed rest, I posted some signs with the help of @katherinejulia.bsky.social.
🧵 A thread on yesterday's journey.
Thank you to the Latino Cultural Arts Center for creating this beautiful ofrenda for World Day of Remembrance for traffic crash victims, part of an exhibit along with victims' stories on display at the Denver City & County building until November 27. #WDoR2023
Jerry "Prince Bee" Grant of the Honey Bees was a budding star featured on the Tonight Show when he was killed by a hit-and-run driver when crossing Columbus Drive in 2017. A new sign and beautiful moment of silence with Jump4Jerry. World Day of Remembrance 2023 #WDoR2023
The ride yesterday made it on the news! Thank you for everyone who made it out on this colder day. A special thanks to one of CycleWR's members, Caleb, who organized this ride!

I hope that someday we can no longer hold vigils for the victims of traffic violence. Until then, I will continue my work to ensure we remember and honor the lives we have sacrificed to our unsafe, unbalanced transportation system. #WDoR2023

The inaction of our leaders is killing us. There is no acceptable number of victims of road violence. We need safer roads, better design, and action now. We need our leaders to fight for zero fatalities and injuries on our streets.

I'm thinking about all of the people injured and killed in motor vehicle collisions in our city and the awful grief of their loved ones and the trauma of survivors of motor vehicle collisions.
#Ottawa #Autowa #WDOR2023
I'm also thinking about all of the pedestrians and cyclists who have been seriously injured this year in Ottawa and who will have to live with life altering injuries and trauma.
#Ottawa #Autowa #OttWalk #OttBike #WDOR2023
Today is World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims and I am thinking about the preventable deaths of the 7 pedestrians who have been killed in Ottawa in 2023 and of the grief of their loved ones whose lives will never be the same.

At #WDoR2023, World Day of Remembrance for Traffic Violence victims--226 this year in NYC--with @familiesforsafestreets.org , @TransAlt.org, and many others.
There are solutions that work, and every failure to implement them costs more lives.

Joined the Ride for Your Life 2023 today, visiting ghost bikes from Bethesda to Washington DC in observance of World Day of Remembrance, with @SafeStreetsDC @MoCoFSS @WABADC @LangenkampDan #WDoR2023
Asking people to drive safely isn't going to prevent traffic fatalities when our streets are dangerous by design. Come show your support for the systemic changes needed today at 5 pm - meet at the City & County bldg & walk to 16th & Arapahoe.

Der heutige UN-Weltgedenktag #WDoR2023 für Verkehrsopfer erinnert an die Opfer von Verkehrsunfällen rund um den Globus & auch daran, wie wichtig rücksichtsvolle Verkehrskultur ist, die es allen Verkehrsteilnehmerinnen erlaubt, sicher im Straßenverkehr unterwegs zu sein. #VisionZero
Screenshot Twitter @Transport_EU Today marks World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims #WDoR2023. 🕯️Join us in taking a moment to think of the victims, families & communities affected by road crashes as well as the emergency responders who deal with traumatic road incidents every day. #RoadSafety
#WDoR2023 Weltweit sterben noch immer knapp 1,3 Mio Menschen an den Folgen von Unfällen im Straßenverkehr. Allein in 🇪🇺 starben 2022 20.640 Menschen bei Verkehrsunfällen. Seit 1961 sind in #Österreich 86.500 Menschen unter diesen Umständen ums Leben gekommen, heuer bereits 351. #RoadSafety 🕯️
These roadside memorials are ubiquitous in America. We can make them obsolete. Join me this Sunday at World Day of Remembrance to demand action #WDoR2023 bit.ly/wdor2023
