Join us for our next policy chat on September 16 at 12 pm ET/9 am PT with Lenore Skenazy, founder of the Free-Range Kids movement and president of Let Grow, a nonprofit promoting childhood independence and resilience. Lenore's work asks a question that sits close to home for many of us: how do we let kids move through the world — walking to school, biking to a friend's house — with real independence? In a country with such unsafe roads, we'll talk about that tension, and what it means for our advocacy.

 Journaling can help us process traumatic injury and loss by providing a safe space to express complex emotions, organize thoughts, and gain perspective. Research has shown that journaling can improve physical and psychological health by calming the brain's fear center, reducing chronic stress, and enhancing coping skills. Regularly writing about crash-related loss and injury can provide a structured, routine way to navigate life-altering events.  We will write silently for most of the session, and offer prompts for those who want them. We always leave time to say hello to each other and share insights if desired.

SUVs and crossovers account for over 41% of U.S. vehicles, despite severe safety and environmental flaws. Written by New York Times reporter and former Detroit bureau chief Keith Bradsher, High & Mighty exposes the corporate and policy decisions that popularized these oversized vehicles at the expense of public safety.  

Connect with fellow FSS members for a facilitated conversation on the SUV crisis. Learn about critical new legislation to protect vulnerable road users and find out how you can help amplify the movement. There is no need to read the entire book, but we recommend familiarizing yourself with it.
