Our streets are deadly by design. Last year alone, car crashes killed or severely injured more than 1,886 people in Los Angeles — many of them children. The traffic crashes in our communities are preventable, but our city is doing very little to keep our roads safe. The city's narrow focus on policing traffic stops does nothing to prevent the next crash from occurring. Without a new approach, crash deaths will continue to threaten our communities.
We can change that.
Join us in person on Tuesday, May 6, at 6 PM for an important discussion at our Community Town Hall: Safe Roads Save Lives at Phoenix Hall at the Watts Labor Community Action Committee in Watts, featuring special guest Deborah Archer, ACLU president. Together, we’ll talk about how to stop crashes from happening in the first place.
*This town hall is hosted by Helen Jones in honor of Bruce Phillips.
