From Remembrance to Action:
Atlanta Families for Safe Streets
We’re building a survivor- and family-led community turning grief into change. If you or someone you love has been impacted by a crash, this space is for you.
To get involved, Families for Safe Streets has a simple three-step process: talk with a representative from the national organization, complete a short form, then get connected locally to the Atlanta chapter.
Step 1 – Connect with a support person
Initial meeting: Have an initial conversation with a Families for Safe Streets national support staff member to learn support services and how to get connected to the Atlanta chapter.

Step 2 – Join Atlanta Families for Safe Streets
If you’ve been directly impacted by traffic violence, you can officially join Atlanta Families for Safe Streets. After your initial conversation, the national team will invite you to complete a short form to join our local chapter.
Step 3 – Access support and community
Once you’ve joined, you’ll be connected locally for peer groups, community gatherings, and survivor support, along with national resources.
