‘Not An Accident’ Bill Advances in Senate Committee on 9-0 Vote
This week, California took a step toward truth and justice for victims and their families.
Watch We Save Lives Founder Candace Lightner testify before the California Senate Health Committee in support of #SB1071. This legislation allows families to correct death certificates when a court has determined their loved one was killed, not lost in an “accident.”
The bill passed the committee on a 9-0 vote and now heads to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
We will keep you informed on how to support this effort and ensure the voices of victims and their families are heard.

100 SAFEST Days of Summer
Memorial Day - Labor Day
WSL and partners are working to make the “100 Deadliest Days” — the stretch between Memorial Day and Labor Day — the 100 SAFEST days. According to AAA, more than 30% of teen driving deaths happen during this period, with fatal crashes increasing as summer travel, distractions, and late-night driving rise. Buckle up, slow down, and stay alert all summer long.
