Have you signed Bethany's aunt's petition calling for California Governor Gavin Newsom to sign SB 961? Help her get to 5,000 signers!

Bethany was killed by a speeding driver going 80MPH back in 2019 in South Los Angeles. Now her daughter is growing up without a mom because of dangerous speeding.

This happens all the time, all across the country: parents, friends, children's, spouses' lives cut short by people going way past the speed limit. In California alone, more than 1,000 people are killed by speeding drivers each year and tens of thousands severely injured. 

For every mile a driver goes over the speed limit, the risk to you and me rises dramatically and the more likely a crash is to occur. A driver has a smaller scope of vision, less time to react, and can’t stop the vehicle as quickly. And the human body can’t withstand the additional force as speeds rise. 

Speed kills. Over 10,000 people are killed by speeding drivers in the US every year. This first-in-the-nation policy shows we *can* discourage dangerous vehicle speeds at the source. Urge @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom to #SignSB961
