So far, more than 24,000 people have signed a Change.org petition calling for "Fearless Girl" to become a permanent installation. In addition to NY Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou, the statue has some powerful allies in government, including Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney and New York City Public Advocate Letitia James, all of whom have sent letters asking Mayor Bill de Blasio to let the statue stay.
