Keegan Stephan is a writer, cyclist, bicycle mechanic, environmentalist, Time's Up volunteer, and general safer streets advocate. Watch him share his Living Will and read on to see why this campaign is important to him...<br />
<br />
"A year and a half ago, Marilyn Dershowitz and Ray Deter, two amazing activists and friends of mine, were killed by automobile on the streets of NYC in the same week. I remember talking to Charlie Komanoff, who was writing an article about how unjust it was that we would never see their Accident Investigation Reports, the only available tool to absolve them of the guilt being piled on these victims of traffic violence by the press, the drivers, and the NYPD. I remember feeling powerless, like eventually all my friends and I were going to die out there, the police would declare "no criminality suspected" and never release our accident reports, and the public would never have the facts to best advocate for safer streets.<br />
<br />
"I carried that feeling with me for over a year, until Josh pitched the idea of Living Street Wills to me. Suddenly I felt like we had a tool to reclaim some power, an effective, heart-wrenching way to demand thorough, transparent investigations. If I die, I want the NYPD to suspect criminality, do a full investigation, and release their report to the public. If you feel the same way, please make a similar video and join this movement."<br />

<br />
Josh Bisker, Time's Up volunteer and circus organizer at the <a href="http://www.superfunvariety.com/">Super Fun Variety Show</a>, offers his living streets will.<br />
<br />
<i>"My name is Josh Bisker. I'm a cyclist in New York City....</i><br />
<br />
<i>The NYPD refuses to properly investigate automobile
collisions or release their reports. Instead, without even mobilizing their still minuscule Collision
Investigation Squad, except in a very small number of cases, the police
routinely, prematurely determine that "no criminality is suspected" in
any collision not involving alcohol. That's true even when multiple
traffic codes are being violated - speeding, illegal turning, driving
without a license, and more. </i>
<i></i><br />
<i><br />The NYPD suspects criminality of innocent people all the time --
stopping-and-frisking individuals who are "acting suspiciously,"
surveilling groups, breaking up gatherings, and more. How is it that
they won't bother investigating criminality when people licensed to
operate deadly machinery in the streets of New York may have broken our
life-or-death traffic codes in the lead-up to a collision? </i>
<i><br /> </i><br />
<i>So here's my living will as a commuting New Yorker: if I'm killed in
an automobile collision, I want the police to properly investigate the
crash before determining the presence or absence criminality, and I want
them to release, without delays, the report to my family and the
general public. Post your video with the hashtag #MyLivingStreetWill. Let's
get them to change their protocols and start making our streets safer."</i>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956405092933462203.post-37458704403974899562013-03-20T15:50:00.001-04:002013-03-21T14:33:10.594-04:00Luat Vong: My Living Street Will<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
