In communities across America, people are getting angry about
traffic violence. But what does it take to turn that anger to a
full-blown movement, with neighbors fighting alongside one another
to change the status quo?
Today, we tapped Elizabeth Creely of the San Francisco-based
grassroots advocacy organization
Safe Street Rebel, which has been making good trouble to change
the transportation status quo since 2020. Along the way,
they've done pop-up traffic calming on the sites of recent
crash deaths, put up
people-protected bike lanes where the city wouldn’t build ones
out of concrete, and gained some critical wisdom on how to not just
create, but sustain and grow a movement to end car dependency, even
when they don’t win every battle.
