We are piloting our volunteer-run Safe Walk program! Tonight, Friday night, and Saturday night from 8:00pm to 3:00am. There are a few ways to arrange a walk:
(1) You can call ahead of time (347-709-8852) to let us know when/where to pick you up (for example, meeting you at a subway station when you return from another neighborhood);
(2) You can call us (347-709-8852) if you are already in the area and you want a walk ASAP. For example, we can come meet you at a friend's house/restaurant/bar/etc. or you can call from a subway station and we will direct you to a safe meeting place;
(3) When possible, our volunteers will be providing direct outreach at subway stations. If you see us tonight, we can walk you home.For more information, please see: http://safeslope.org/programs
Please remember that Safe Walk is available for women- and LGBTQ-identified people only and, at this time, we can only travel between 9th St and 30th St/3rd Ave and 8th Ave. We will try to accommodate as many people as possible.

This is great idea. I would make sure to use non-web methods to advertise it as well.
Use the flyers to recruit people who are willing to walk folks home, as well as to recruit people who like to be walked home.

Maybe they need to talk to the Brooklyn Bike Patrol folks. It seems like the two should coordinate to use their volunteers efficiently and maybe be able to cover more ground or hours.
Howdy, Stranger!
