Our Goals

BUILD A COMMUNITY 

Create a space for stakeholder survivors (those who grieve the death of someone who has died by jumping) to grieve and remember their loved ones in a supportive environment and mobilize them to speak out and take action on raising rails. 

BUILD A COALITION 

Organize and activate suicide prevention organizations to support raising rails. 

RAISE AWARENESS 

Educate and inform policymakers and decision makers (architects, developers, builders, regulators, the International Code Council).

PROVIDE TOOLS

Research, create and disseminate a framework and toolkit for assessing and mitigating the risk of jumping for buildings, bridges, and other structures.

AMEND THE CODE

Amend the International Building Code and other relevant codes to raise required railing heights. The goal is to submit proposed changes to the International Code Council in January 2027 for the 2030 edition of the International Building Code.
