Protecting Black Lives in Parks and Public Spaces
Too many Black lives have been lost to police violence. As advocates for safe routes and safe public spaces, we must take a holistic view of safety, especially the safety of Black lives. Depending on police for community safety is not a sustainable or equitable solution.
Bringing Flashing Stop Signs and A Community Park Celebration to South Wenatchee, Washington
South Wenatchee, Washington is a predominantly Latino community located just south of Spokane. The community is largely agricultural, with a highly transient population of migrants who come to work during harvest season. Because many migrant workers come with their families, including young children and other relatives, there is a great need and high demand for safe places to play, be active, and recreate.
