home safe

I just read about an amazing all-volunteer organization whose primary goal is to offer FREE rides home to women late at night. RightRides services certain neighborhoods where there's been an increase in crimes against women. I've had lean weeks myself where I chanced the subway in the wee hours of the morning because I couldn't afford a cab. I always knew it was foolish to do but I didn't think I had an alternative. I've been lucky but unfortunately, not every woman makes it home safely. Fortunately, RightRides is working to provide a solution.

Please visit the website to learn more about what they do and how to volunteer and/or make a donation. Thanks!
