Equipping communities with tools to drive change and healing
Resource guides
The White Line
Being hit by a car and walking away doesn't mean it's over. This guide is for cyclists, pedestrians, and other vulnerable road users who survived a crash that the system may be tempted to dismiss as minor. Inside: what to do at the scene, how to document injuries that may not show up for days, how to navigate insurance and the accountability gap, and how to protect your physical and mental health and your legal case in the weeks that follow.
The White Line
A serious crash changes everything: your body, your finances, your sense of what comes next. This guide is for survivors of crashes that caused significant injury, and for the people who love and care for them. It covers the hospital and discharge process, building a medical record that protects your case, navigating criminal and civil accountability, understanding the full landscape of money and insurance, and finding a path to a new normal, whatever that looks like for you.
The White Line
This guide is for families who have lost someone to traffic violence. Written by people who have lived it, it walks you through the first seventy-two hours, the grief that doesn't move in a straight line, the criminal and civil legal systems, the insurance and financial maze, and the long road to accountability. It also covers telling your story to media, to courts, to lawmakers and finding what comes after the verdict. You don't have to figure this out alone.
