My sweet baby Sidney - you should be turning 9 today. It is the fourth birthday you have missed on earth and this one is the hardest.

No more shock, no more magical thinking that you might come home, no more belief that you will get justice. Just the cold hard stone of truth sinking in my gut - you’re gone forever and you should be here with us.

There are so many public health crisis we can’t fix but traffic violence is one of the few we can. But we need more than just those of us who have lost a loved one to care and fight.

A $50 mirror or a driver who followed our traffic laws and took a moment to look for pedestrians would have saved Sidney. An easy fix and she’s here blowing out the candles her 9th birthday cake.

Every traffic death comes down to easy fix - the technology exists, the solutions are simple, but we need you. Get involved locally, elect officials who care, drive like it’s your child in the crosswalk or biking beside you, join us for the Freedom to Move Mile and Rainbow Day, little steps forward so our kids don’t have to fear for their life walking to art class.
