Streets Are For Everyone

SAFE Support is a unique wraparound social support service for victims of traffic violence – those physically or emotionally traumatized and family members who have lost loved ones in LA County. While SAFE Support has been helping hundreds for the last eight years, we are engaging in a first-of-its-kind pilot with LAPD to provide free support to anyone who’s been through any type of traffic collision in South Los Angeles.

Traffic collisions are the #1 killer of children ages 5-14, making parents fearful to let their kids bike, walk, or take public transit. Lecturing kids on traffic safety often meets with disinterest. Streets, Art, SAFE is a unique way to teach kids road safety and empower them to act. Through fun and impactful visual storytelling, they learn and advocate for safety in their communities and encourage people to get out of their cars. They also develop expertise and gain experience in the visual arts. The program is provided free of cost.

Los Angeles will host the 2028 Olympics. The children of today will be Team USA's athletes of tomorrow. Unfortunately there are sections of Los Angeles with huge disparities in the ability for children to safely play. We aim to address that inequity by providing a means (free refurbished bicycles, helmets and bike locks) and a bicycle safety skills class lead by Olympic Athletes, igniting a passion for sport, play, and physical activity in children regardless of their race, gender, zip code, or socioeconomic status.
