We hit 20,000 signatures in 15 days (!) with not one cent of advertising.

Thank you for signing. Thank you for sharing. Your support has been amazing.

Sadly though, the violence downtown continues to rise. The Homeless Camping Ordinance must be rescinded immediately.

On Monday, we will ask each of you to take an additional step to persuade the Mayor and the City Council to do the right thing.

One week from yesterday (Aug. 8), the City Council will hold their weekly meeting and they will reconsider this policy. We must keep the pressure going.

If you still want to help, please consider these two actions:

1) Post about this petition on Twitter, Facebook and Next Door. Use the SaveAustinNow.com URL in your message and urge your Austin friends, neighbors and followers to sign and share.

2) Consider contributing to our effort to we can begin paid advertising to reach more Austin residents. With $5,000, we can send 60,000 text messages to Austin residents. You can securely contribute here. (If link doesn't work, paypal to matt.mackowiak@gmail.com).

Thank you!
