World Day of Remembrance, poll result, and budget wins

December 2021 Newsletter View this email in your browser This year for the World Day of Remembrance we worked with volunteers and our allies to remember those who have lost their lives traveling on our streets. So far in 2021, 30 people have been killed on our streets and another 125 people have received serious, life-altering injuries. This includes 18 people walking, 3 people riding bikes, and 1 person riding an e-scooter. Traffic violence is disproportionately killing and harming people of color, people with disabilities, elders, low-income people, and unhoused people. We must do better to protect the most vulnerable people on our streets. Read more.  Thanks to your advocacy the Seattle City budget for next year includes more funding for Vision Zero, sidewalks, Home Zones, maintenance, Lake Washington Boulevard, Cafe Streets, and six other exciting initiatives! Huge gratitude to the elected leaders, advocates, and city staff who made this improvement improvements happen! Read more about these 12 big wins for the City of Seattle 2022 Budget. A new poll found that Seattle voters overwhelmingly support more space for people walking, biking, and taking transit, even if it means removing a lane of traffic or parking spaces! The poll also found people support pedestrianizing streets, moving traffic enforcement from SPD to SDOT, and creating a 15 Minute City. See the full results and our analysis.  Ramps to Nowhere: Film screening and panel discussion Did you know there were originally many more planned highways that would have deeply carved up Seattle? We recently hosted a film screening and panel discussion about the inspiring history of fighting highway expansion in Seattle. We teamed up with Front and Centered, Disability Rights Washington, 350 Seattle, and the Social Justice Film Institute to highlight these important stories of uniting communities for a more just and sustainable transportation future. You can watch the film for free here and see our panel discussion here.  We are hiring!  We are currently hiring two positions: a Communications Director and a Development Director.

Please feel free to share with job boards or people who might be interested!  Our friends at the Seattle Parks Foundation are also hiring for a contractor to support Duwamish Valley Safe Streets.

Ten years ago, groups of neighbors from three neighborhoods discovered their shared interest in making Seattle a more walkable and bikeable city, and a shared desire to create a more equitable and welcoming walking and biking advocacy movement. Here's what happened next. Do NOT miss this 10th Anniversary Video!  We love this new street mural!  “For us, this mural has a lot of meaning, it’s our way of putting Land Acknowledgment into action, also it’s an educational and beautiful sight for the passers-by, especially the many kids and parents who wait for the school bus in this now safe intersection. But most importantly, it’s a lasting reminder to everyone that indigenous people were here, are here, will forever be present in our community”  – Lake City Collective.
