THE PARENT CHECK LIST
Teach your child early and often the importance of being an outspoken passenger. Before they get in the car with a friend, download the Parent Checklist (it's in English & Spanish) and ask these questions to ensure they’re ready to Speak Up for safety.
ONE COURAGEOUS VOICE CAN STOP A DEADLY CHOICE!
HOW TEENS CAN TAKE ACTION
You are more powerful than you know.
Plan an event, contact your reps, take the pledge, and utilize the strength of social to save lives.
SPEAK UP!
We see a friend who’s had too much to drink at a party walking to their vehicle and we don’t stop them.
We watch as a family member picks up a phone call behind the wheel.
We let a friend leave our house to drive to the store after smoking some marijuana “because it’s just down the street.”
These things happen countless times every single day, and they frequently end with arrests, shame, humiliation, huge fines, and many times these choices end in injury and death. Whatever the outcome, people are usually left wishing that they had done something more.
If only I had stopped that friend from driving drunk.
If only I had said something when the driver picked up that phone call.
If only I told my friend to keep their marijuana use at home.
If only I had the Courage To Intervene.
One courageous voice can stop one deadly choice.
