America Walks: Protect the freedom to move

America Walks is creating opportunities to help shape the national conversation around building walkable, inclusive communities. Right now people are being denied their most basic rights — fair hearings, legal help, and due process — all based on how they look, where they’re from, and how they are perceived.

Want to take action to protect the freedom to move? Here are three things you can do:

1. Sign the petition to protect freedom to move for all.

2. Tell your elected officials that everyone deserves to move safely and securely.

   
   

3. Read and share this blog post from America Walks.

When we think about walkability, we often focus on physical surroundings – the streets, public spaces, and amenities that make walking and rolling safe and accessible. However, for those who feel exposed or unsafe due to intolerance, harassment, or threats of violence, walkability is denied.
