The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims (WDR) is a global event to remember the many millions who have been killed and seriously injured on the world’s roads and to acknowledge the suffering of all affected victims, families and communities – millions added each year to countless millions already suffering: a truly tremendous cumulative toll.

The Safe Streets Coalition has been working to memorialize the sites where our fellow community members were killed, and fighting to change our streets so that these preventable deaths don't continue.

Join us to spend a moment to remember the many neighbors, friends, and family members that have been killed in our city and beyond, and dream of a better future.
