As I prepare to turn 38 tomorrow, I’ve found myself reflecting on how far this journey has taken me. This petition began as a response to losing a space that meant everything — but it's grown into something that matters to so many more people than I imagined.
Community spaces are more than just buildings. They're lifelines. They're where people feel heard, seen, and safe — often for the first time.
I never expected this campaign to reach beyond my own town, let alone internationally. On this birthday eve, I just want to say thank you — for every signature, every share, and every message of encouragement. You’ve helped me believe in change again.
So here's to making 38 count — by continuing to protect what really matters: belonging, support, and connection.
