HONOR ALYSSA

Many of the founding members of Free to Move will be sitting in the courtroom, awaiting justice for the murder of our sister and friend, Dr. Alyssa Dawn Lokits. It is going to be an unimaginably painful week. 

While we attend the trial, we have come up with actionable ways you can support us and honor Alyssa every day during the week of the trial. We would be incredibly grateful for your participation. 

Thank you for being part of our community and movement. 


Monday: Walk/Run in an outdoor space at 5:30pm

Alyssa was tragically murdered on a Monday, in broad daylight, on a well-populated trail in Nashville, TN. Movement reminds us that public spaces belong to all of us. Let’s fill greenways across the nation in her honor. Grab a friend. Share it and tag us on social #HonorAlyssa

Tuesday: Email your State Rep to ask for support to pass the Alyssa Lokits Safety Act in 2027

We cannot affect change alone. Our vision of creating a safer world is only possible when changemakers unite with us in the pursuit. Use our template to email your state legislator and advocate for policy change that would create safer spaces for everyone. Personalize it, send it, and add your voice to a growing movement.

Wednesday: Take Our Survey

Help us identify the safety gaps for women in outdoor movement by sharing your lived experiences through our brief survey. If you have already taken it, share it with 5 friends!

Thursday: Participate in a Greenway Walk Audit:

Join us tonight at Cumberland River Greenway, or Saturday at either of the scheduled walk audits.  If you can’t make it to a group meetup, DIY!

Friday: Learn from one of our Free Video Resources

We believe safety resources should be free and accessible to everyone. Learn with us and stay tuned for our newest resource coming later this fall.
