I think Dani Basden's new group Safe Walk, which walks women to their cars when it's dark, is a great idea. My documentary project for my coms 126 class is the safety right outside campus, because I've been around campus by myself and I know it's not safe in the early morning and night. I've personally had to deal with aggressive panhandlers, men clearly mentally unstable, guys driving up and offering "homemade" cologne and trying to sell me 'their' playstations, and when I say playstations I mean one guy trying to sell me multiple playstations that he claimed were his.
I have walked girls to their cars more times than I can count so I think this is a great program that couls be spread through Facebook and Twitter. I'm pretty busy myself and not the biggest guy in the world physically, but I would be more than happy to volunteer on certain days in the future.
