Every signature on this petition represents more than a number.
It represents someone who understands that community spaces are not “extras” — they are lifelines.
Since the last update, the petition continues to be shared, talked about, and supported in quiet but meaningful ways. Some support is loud. Some is gentle. Both matter.
Community spaces offer connection, routine, confidence, and belonging — especially for people who don’t always fit easily into fast, noisy systems. When these spaces disappear, something essential goes with them.
Thank you to everyone who has signed, shared, spoken about this, or simply taken a moment to read and understand why it matters.
This isn’t about nostalgia.
It’s about access, dignity, and the right to belong.
We keep going — together.
