Take Action

Safe Kids works on laws and policy at the federal, state and local level to prevent child injury. You can be a part of it, too, by taking action with us or with your neighbors. For example, you can organize a campaign to make your child’s school zone safer by campaigning for smart signage to slow down traffic or to encourage the hiring of a crossing guard.
