We are survivors.

We are grieving families.

And we are demanding safer streets for everyone.

Atlanta Families for Safe Streets is a group of individuals who have lost loved ones or survived serious injuries in traffic crashes. We turn our pain into purpose by fighting for systemic change — so no one else has to experience our loss.

Atlanta Families for Safe Streets is part of a national movement to turn families’ stories of preventable tragedy into advocacy efforts for safer streets for all. Nationally, Families for Safe Streets (FSS) confronts the epidemic of traffic violence by advocating for life-saving changes and providing support to those impacted by crashes.

We're relaunching, and we need you

After a pause during the pandemic, we're relaunching our Atlanta chapter of Families for Safe Streets. We're building a community of survivors, advocates, and allies who want to turn pain into change. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, been injured, or simply care about safer streets, we want to hear from you.
