Living in the vibrant community of Phoenix, AZ, it's quite disheartening to feel excluded, especially when it involves a circle of friends. I find myself in such a situation with the Pedal Haus group chat. Being friends with everyone, it feels like a natural extension of our camaraderie to be part of their conversations and shared experiences. However, simply because I do not work at Pedal Haus, I am being excluded from this chat.

The group chat is not merely a digital communication tool; it's a community hub for Pedal Haus. It's where friendships blossom beyond work hours, plans are made, experiences are shared, and the true spirit of Phoenix's community is celebrated. Excluding friends, solely on employment status, contradicts the inclusive spirit we all cherish.

In trying to foster genuine human connections, it's crucial to reconsider such boundaries within personal circles. I propose opening the Pedal Haus group chat to non-employees, especially friends who share the group's interests and values. Let’s allow genuine friendships to flourish unhampered by such limitations.

Please help bring a sense of inclusivity and openness to the Pedal Haus group, where friendships matter more than employment status. I urge the Pedal Haus leadership to reflect on this exclusionary practice and to embrace a more inclusive approach. Sign this petition to create an inclusive community at Pedal Haus where everyone, regardless of their employment, can share in the camaraderie and spirit of our wonderful city.
