The WDoR remembers the many millions who have been killed and seriously injured on the world's roads, acknowledges the suffering of all those affected, and gives a voice to victims and their families. In Jacksonville alone, 100 people have been killed in traffic crashes already this year. Bike Walk Jax is honored to host this event to illustrate how road-related fatalities have impacted Jacksonville's many diverse communities, creating a health crisis that must be addressed. This event will also provide those working in road safety an opportunity to showcase current initiatives and efforts being made to address this important issue.
 
Bike Walk Jax (BWJ) is looking for volunteers to help plan this event!
 
As community residents, YOU are vital partners in improving the safety of our streets throughout Jacksonville. If you're passionate about creating a SAFE, walkable, and bikeable community for all people, this is the place for you! BWJ is seeking volunteers to assist with planning logistics, media strategy, stakeholder coordination, photography, graphic design, and promotion for the WDoR.
 
Our next planning meeting is tomorrow! We will meet virtually on Tuesday, September 23rd at 5:30-6:30 PM. Please respond to this email if you're interested in attending.
If you're not able to volunteer, we invite you to attend and show support for this important cause.
