Text Me When You Get Home

Text Me When You Get Home

Overview

Walking from sunset to sunrise in Perth to highlight women’s safety at night and fund education that creates safer futures.

BECAUSE EVERYONE DESERVES TO FEEL SAFE AT NIGHT.

From sunset on 7/3/2026 to sunrise on 8/3/2026, Casey will walk the Boorloo Bridge to Narrows Bridge loop around the Swan River, finishing as she steps into International Women’s Day.

This walk represents a reality many women know all too well: the feeling of not being able to walk home safely at night. It reflects the everyday precautions women take - sharing their location, holding keys between their fingers, calling someone on the way home, or sending the familiar message: “Text me when you’re home.”

This walk is not about fear - it’s about awareness, empathy, and change. Casey is walking to start conversations about why safety at night is not equally experienced and why education is essential in changing this reality.

This walk is a symbol of solidarity, of listening, and of our commitment to creating a future where “text me when you get home” is no longer necessary.


Who am I raising funds for?
