SAFE SLOPE OFFERS SAFE WALKS THIS WEEKEND

Heads up, 7-UP, ladies. Local organization Safe Slope is arranging Safe Walks this weekend. So if you're oot and aboot this weekend and plan on walking home solo late at night, do yourself a favor and consider giving these volunteers a ring. Deets from the group below:

We are piloting our volunteer-run Safe Walk program this weekend! 

Tonight, Friday night, and Saturday night from 8:00pm to 3:00am. 

Safe Slope’s Safe Walk initiative is a volunteer-based program providing free walks home to female- and LGBTQ-identified community members. To arrange a Safe Walk, neighbors can call us at (347) 709-8852, and a pair of Safe Slope volunteers (which will include at least one woman) will meet them and walk them home safely. Safe Walk volunteers can provide “pick-ups” at local establishments and subway stops and will provide “drop-offs” anywhere in our catchment area (between 9th and 30th Streets and between 2nd and 8th Avenues in Brooklyn).

There are a few ways to arrange a walk:
(1) You can call ahead of time (347-709-8852) to let us know
when/where to pick you up (for example, meeting you at a subway
station when you return from another neighborhood);
(2) You can call us (347-709-8852) if you are already in the area and
you want a walk ASAP.
(3) When possible, our volunteers will be providing direct outreach at
subway stations. If you see us tonight, we can walk you home.

Please remember that Safe Walk is available for women- and
LGBTQ-identified people only and, at this time, we can only travel
between 9th St and 30th St/3rd Ave and 8th Ave. We will try to
accommodate as many people as possible.
