Two #AsylumSeekers have died and one is missing in the Channel just hours after the UK and France failed to agree a new deal to combat crossings.

A rescue operation including a helicopter was launched after a dinghy carrying as many as 50 migrants including children got into trouble off the coast of Gravelines in northern France

Beim letzten Kontakt von #AlarmPhone in der vergangenen Nacht sagten die Menschen, sie würden von einem Schiff der sog. 'Libyan Coast Guard' aufgenommen und alle safe seien.

Wir sind froh, dass sie überlebt haben. Ihre Rückkehr nach #Libyen bedeutet jedoch keinen Schutz und keine Sicherheit für sie. #SafeRoutesNow

@HayiWena And do you have any source I can track down about crashes involving middle schoolers that aren't in the police collision traffic report data? I could really use that! I'll take anecdata if that's all you have. @footsteps #SafeRoutesNow #KidsDeserveIt #CrashNotAccident

The stats in this are stale but the principle still applies: Drive as if someone's life depends on it. It does. https://web.archive.org/web/20211027183213/https://wsdotblog.blogspot.com/2021/10/remember-what-uncle-ben-said.html #RoadSafety #CrashNotAccident #DriverNotCar #SpiderMan #UncleBen #driving #DriveSafe #SafetyOverSpeed #SafeRoutesNow #KidsDeserveIt #Halloween

@ascentale @Brownian_motion Love Megan's idea! I'll share that with the folks working on our school-based bike program. (I know Megan--not surprised she has great ideas.)

We've built transportation systems that isolate rather than connect. We need complete networks--of people, of infrastructure, of connections between modes--so all of us can get where we need to go.

Our global standing no doubt sunk to a new low in our wish to send refugees with 'a good claim' to an unsafe country. Plus, Brexshit means that the EU law that refugees can only be sent to a third country if they have a connection to it is no longer applicable.

I know y'all are here and not there on the birdsite but I'm doing some tweeting from an all-day workshop at USDOT on the National Road Safety Strategy.

"It’s bizarre. We are a society obsessed with the safety of our children, sometimes to a ridiculous extent. Yet when it comes to the school run, the automobile remains sacred." -Taras Grescoe @straphanger https://straphanger.substack.com/p/the-case-for-car-free-school-streets #SafeRoutesNow #SchoolStreets #PeopleStreets #RoadSafety #SafetyOverSpeed #TarasGrescoe #CarCulture

Reading this piece https://www.sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/news/2023/february/commuting-by-example-head-teacher-in-north-wales-replaces-car-with-e-bike/ led me to Sustrans programs like E-Move Wales https://www.sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/projects/2021/wales/e-move-piloting-e-bike-and-e-cargo-bike-loans-in-wales/ and Cargo Bike Scotland https://www.sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/projects/2022/scotland/cargo-bike-scotland-project/. The power of trying out an e-assist bike is phenomenal!

"E-Move's collection of e-bikes have panniers, stowage trays and seats to carry children of various ages." Awesome work, Sustrans! #FamilyBiking #EBikes #CargoBikes #MoveEquity #transportation #Bikes4Climate #SafeRoutesNow #BikeTooter #cycling #BicyclesChangeLives

Great story about work of Coach Sam Balto in Portland OR! “The first time I rode the bike bus I was overcome with a sense of community. I felt like I was biking on an ocean of joy.

Today for #InternationalMigrantsDay we want to say thank you to @safepassageuk

They work alongside refugees to campaign for change and build public support for #SafeRoutesNow. The tragedy on the English Channel last week highlighted the importance of this mission.

Another tragic loss of life.
