HOMELESS CAMPING ORDINANCE UPDATE

As you know, our entirely volunteer-run, nonpartisan Save Austin Now nonprofit recently launched a second effort to put reinstatement of the camping ban on the ballot in Austin.

We are on a path to hitting our goal!

Just three and a half weeks in and we have already collected 10,000+ signed petitions!

We have just 14 days left to collect 30,000+ petitions to reinstate the camping ban. To be certified by the city, we must submit by Jan. 12.

Reminder: Only Austin residents who are registered voters can sign. Anyone who signed during our last effort MUST SIGN AGAIN.

IF YOU HAVE NOT SIGNED YET: TWO WAYS YOU CAN SIGN

> Download the petition here (https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track/?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3Ae9449100-2148-4a1e-b6bb-ae9ff5685162#pageNum=1). Download it, print it, fill it out legibly, and mail it back). If you would like the petition to be emailed to you as a pdf, please email matt@saveaustinnow.com.
> Request a petition be mailed to you here (https://form.jotform.com/200864088436157).

TWO WAYS TO HELP: VOLUNTEERS & DONATIONS

> Would you please sign up for a volunteer shift to collect signatures here (https://form.jotform.com/200565023717146)? We really need your help.

In order for us to be successful, we need to mail another 100,000+ households a copy of the petition THIS WEEK. This will cost $50,000. We need your help today.

> Please consider donating to our efforts now.

We have already mailed 80,000 households a copy of the petition and texted more than 300,000 Austin residents. This should quickly produce at least 12,000 more signed petitions. It's a good start, but we need more financial support to mail more households and follow up on the text messages.

There are two ways to give:

> You can securely donate here -- https://secure.anedot.com/matt-mackowiak-save-austin-now/donate
> You can make a check to "Save Austin Now" and mail it to 807 Brazos St., Ste. 408, Austin, TX 78701.

TWO OTHER WAYS TO HELP

> Does your business want some petitions on hand to collect signatures? Email Matt (matt@saveaustinnow.com) and tell us where you are located and when we can come bring them by.

> We need HOA contacts to see if they will email out information about the petition. Please email Matt (matt@saveaustinnow.com) if you have contact info for HOA presidents.

We are going to win this fight for our city!

Thank you!
