Christmas is a time many of us slow down, reflect, and take stock of what really matters. For me, that includes community spaces — the places that quietly support people all year round, not just when everything is festive and easy.

Even over Christmas, the need doesn’t stop. Access, inclusion, understanding, and support don’t take holidays.

Thank you to everyone who has signed, shared, and supported this petition so far. Your voices continue to matter, and they continue to be heard — even during quieter weeks.

I’ll be sharing further updates as we move into the new year. For now, I’m grateful for every person who believes community spaces deserve protection, recognition, and a future.

Thank you for standing with me.
