SAFE, alongside a coalition of non-profits and road safety advocates, will be hosting a die-in on the steps of LA City Hall in remembrance of the lives we lost due to traffic violence in 2025 and to raise awareness of the continued need for safer streets.

Over 250 people have died on our city streets, as of December 6 2025.

And yet, 2025 was the 10th anniversary of the start of the Vision Zero program, a program aimed at reducing traffic fatalities to zero by 2025.

However, the core components of this program were watered down, removed, or underfunded within a few years of its start. The result is that in the last 10 years, there has been an 80% increase in traffic fatalities, primarily affecting pedestrians in underserved communities.

Join us for a press conference and die-in protest to tell LA City Hall we will not stand for the continued inaction that puts our community at risk.

*A die-in is "a protest or demonstration in which a group of people gather and lie down as if dead." (Oxford Dictionary) In our case, to represent the lives lost to traffic violence and protest the lack of effective action by our City and state leaders, as demonstrated by rising fatalities.

We aim to have 250 people in attendance, representing each life lost. Help us make this happen!
