Dying-In Los Angeles - A Protest for Safer Streets: Don’t “DOGE” LA Safety
A coalition of non-profits and road safety advocates will be hosting a die-in* on the steps of LA City Hall to raise awareness of LA’s dystopian-level budget cuts.
The “DOGE”-like budget cuts that would gut LADOT’s ability to make streets safer.
If these cuts go through, there will be no funding for new safety improvements next year — no speed reduction measures, no protected bike lanes, no pedestrian upgrades. Nothing.
We again need to raise our voices.
