🚨 Important Update: Die-In Protest Postponed 🚨
To prioritize safety due to the fires in Los Angeles, we’re postponing the Die-In Protest originally scheduled for January 11, 2025.
A new date will be announced soon. Sign up to be notified so you can join us in demanding safer roads.
Stay safe, LA. 💛
What is the Die-In?
A coalition of non-profits and road safety advocates, led by Streets Are For Everyone, will be hosting a die-in* on the steps of LA City Hall to raise awareness of the need for safe streets.
As of this writing, traffic fatalities in the City of Los Angeles are expected to once again be above 300 for the third year in a row.
And yet, 2025 will be the 10th anniversary of the start of the Vision Zero program, a program aimed at reducing traffic fatalities to zero by 2025.
However, the core components of this program were watered down, removed, or underfunded within a few years of its start. The result is that in the last 10 years, there has been an 80% increase in traffic fatalities, primarily affecting pedestrians in underserved communities.
We again need to raise our voices and let the Mayor and our City Council know that the issue of traffic violence needs to be treated as the public health crisis that it is.
*A die-in is "a protest or demonstration in which a group of people gather and lie down as if dead." (Oxford Dictionary) In our case, to represent the lives lost to traffic violence and protest the lack of effective action by our City and state leaders, as demonstrated by rising fatalities.
