The Three Children Too Many march on November 12th, 2013 in Corona and Jackson Heights was a community response to the rising toll of children killed on the streets of Queens by traffic violence. We marched to demand that the police better enforce existing traffic laws, the DOT create of more slow traffic zones, and drivers everywhere take greater responsibility for the safety of their neighbors.
