On February 25, 2021, KING 5, based in Washington, reported on a Seattle student who launched an accessibility campaign after noticing the lack of sidewalks near her school.
The student, Aria Leedham, attends the Catherine Blaine K-8 school and has been pushing for safer paths for students to walk on. She started a petition to improve the pedestrian safety in her neighborhood, which has gained over 1,000 signatures.
Leedham pointed out that the lack of sidewalks near her school poses a danger to students, especially for those with disabilities or mobility issues. She emphasized the importance of having safe sidewalks for everyone in the community.
The campaign has caught the attention of local officials, including City Councilmember Dan Strauss, who has been supportive of Leedham’s efforts. He stated that the city is working on improving pedestrian infrastructure and appreciated the student’s activism.
Leedham’s campaign sheds light on the importance of accessibility and safety for all members of the community, regardless of their physical abilities. Her dedication to creating a more inclusive environment serves as an example for other young activists to follow.
