World Day of Remembrance Storytelling & Memorial Gathering
November 15 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
World Day of Remembrance is an annual, international event held on the third Sunday of November to honor those who have been killed or seriously injured in traffic crashes, and to demand action for safer streets.
BCM is hosting an evening forum from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. at Portland Downtown’s Conference Center (87 Center Street, Portland, ME).
We invite folks from across Maine to join us and share or listen to stories to honor the memory of those who lost their lives on the roads, to support victims and their families, and to move forward with action and purpose to build a safer, more compassionate transportation system. Each year, traffic crashes result in lives lost, grieving families, and communities forever changed. The event will conclude with a call to action on how you can effect change to help our community reach zero traffic fatalities.
If you would like to share your story at this event or like to learn more, we would love to hear from you – please reach out to Reed Silvers at reed@bikemaine.org
