Streets Are For Everyone

What Streets Are For Everyone does

Streets Are For Everyone (SAFE) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in January 2015 by Damian Kevitt in Los Angeles, California, following his near-fatal 2013 collision while cycling in Griffith Park. Its mission is to reduce traffic fatalities to zero through an integrated portfolio of programs: direct victim support services (SAFE Support), youth education via the Streets, Art, SAFE film and poster competition, legislative advocacy (co-sponsorship of multiple California bills including AB 645, Ryan's Law, SB 720, and SB 1167), faith-based outreach (Faith for SAFE Streets), memorial awareness (Ghost Tires), and signature fundraising events (Finish The Ride and Finish The Run).

SAFE's business model is donor- and event-funded rather than product-revenue based. Operating revenue is generated through individual donations (tax-deductible under Federal EIN 47-3036490), corporate sponsorships across tiers (Flagship: AAA; Major: Honda, Waymo, Metrolink, CA Office of Traffic Safety), and event registration fees — the 2026 Griffith Park Finish The Ride and Run event alone raised $184,473 with approximately 2,000 participants (an 18% year-over-year increase). The organization also secures state-level grants, including $4 million for the Griffith Park Safety and Active Transportation Improvement Project. Operations are run with a lean staff of 1–10 employees augmented by an extensive volunteer, intern, and chapter network spanning Los Angeles County, Southern California, the Inland Empire, and a multi-state youth education footprint across California, Arizona, Florida, New York, Texas, and Michigan.

Distribution and outreach occur through a multi-channel model combining grassroots community organizing, signature events, two newsletters (monthly and weekly), an active blog, social media, and substantial earned media coverage (700M+ impressions in 2025 across ABC 7, NBC LA, Fox LA, CBS 2, LAist, and StreetsBlog LA). SAFE maintains strategic coalition partnerships with over 20 organizations including LA Walks, Bike LA, Move LA, CalBike, PeopleForBikes, LA DOT, and Families for SAFE Streets, providing both advocacy leverage and ecosystem reach.
