Dying-In Los Angeles - A Protest for Safer Streets: Don’t “DOGE” LA Safety

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.
