Most commercial real estate in most cities is held by holding companies and very wealthy individuals that can more easily weather economic instability than their tenants, who are usually so busy creating jobs and providing goods and services they don't have time to accumulate cash reserves. BOMA represents building owners, and includes a PAC with lobbyists and is better organized than tenants, and more able to apply for and receive federal dollars. They have it in their strength to organize their members to suspend rent payments for April, 2020, and allow small businesses across America to survive. Without relief to small businesses, many will close, and the unique and resilient culture that they bring to their communities will die as well.

No one should be able to deal in the stock market with insider information. Not a senator, nor any of his/her friends. Ever. People must release information that can disrupt markets in a timely fashion to the whole public - not just a select few.

This is important to allow people to stay afloat as we’re forced to socially distance ad not work during the Coronavirus pandemic.

We show up to work and do our jobs during this time, even though it puts us and our families at great risk of getting sick.

This is Very Important Because People (Homeowners/Renters) Are Being Laid Off From Their Jobs For An Indefinite Time And Could Lose Everything They Own! We As Americans Deserve The Right To Keep Our Homes And Have Water, Gas And Electric Utilities In Order To Survive And Thrive Through One Of The Worst Cases Of Distress In Our History!

Because we will be faced with a greater hardship of homelessness along with fighting this virus when we can avoid all of this by not putting stress on citizens who are trying to figure out where and how to get money to pay for rent when our jobs are closed or we been have laid off until further notice. If we have NO Job, we have NO money. It is impossible to make families not only come up with money but all those extra fees that landlords add on top of us each day, or they come up with ridiculous reasons to add any fee. We have babies; we have our elders whom we care for. This is not a time to start an eviction on our families during this critical time. Please consider this petition or any other petitions that are proposed the same as this one. Thank you; hope they listen to Us as The People.

As a group, the working class of Alameda have been financially crippled by the critical and necessary measures put in place to slow the spread of COVID-19. Though the federal or state government may eventually provide relief, the immediate conservation of our limited financial resources is necessary for our own and our family's health and well-being. Rentors, Leasors, banks and other relevant institutions can, as a class seek their own relief; the state and federal government is much more responsive and historically more likely to act on their behalf. We must protect our limited cash flow immediately.

It’s imperative we protect the well being of the American people, whether that be physically, mentally and/or financially in this time of crises. A lot of families have been disrupted financially due to this crises being left without jobs, transportations, baby sitters, etc. hence making it a financial burden to meet their monthly bill requirements which can lead to emotional/mental distress from the fear of losing homes and possessions, not being able provide proper health to their family members due to not of their own fault. I think we can all agree it is should be the priority of the American people to protect the American people in this unknown times. Only together can we prevent from this crises from causing more than necessary hardships to out brothers and sisters. Who will pay for this? As mentioned before we are not asking for a “forgiveness” but rather a law or guideline that protects us for the time being until all order can be restored to normal. And if necessary said financial institutions, lease holders, etc., can file for their own relief and be accommodated quicker as a corporation than a American as an individual.

Lessors, lenders, banks and other relevant institutions can, as a class, seek their own relief; the state and federal government is much more responsive and historically more likely to act on their behalf.

It is VITAL to ensure that, when this crisis finally passes, funding for the arts is a MAJOR component of the inevitable stimulus packages that will be used to jump-start the economy. Let’s face it -- when this is all over, cultural life in this country won’t simply return to the way it was before the first coronavirus case was diagnosed. Folks in the performing arts -- both individual artists and cultural institutions and organizations -- were ALREADY in precarious financial shape before all of this started. Just look at the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, as an obvious example. Many of these individuals and entities won’t have the wherewithal to properly resume operations when this all ends. And bookings for individual artists will be terribly scarce. Festivals are going to be bankrupt. Bars and restaurants are going to be looking to slash costs anyway they can to recoup at least a fraction of their losses. Live music (and other performing arts) are going to suffer highly. As such, it is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL for the long-term future of American cultural life that government funding for the arts be DRAMATICALLY increased in the post-COVID period. On the federal, state, AND local levels. I’m talking about massive grants to performing arts organizations, cultural institutions, etc. Grants for public concert series. Direct grants and/or tax breaks to bars and restaurants that feature live music and/or exhibit local artists. Financial assistance for every level of the cultural economy, big and small. This is a fantastic form of economic stimulus, since you can be certain that almost every dollar spent will go right back into the local community. I don't think anyone in the performing arts has ever saved money in an off-shore bank account. Apart from supporting the arts, America is going to be DESPERATE, in the post-crisis period, for anything that allows them to gather with family, friends, and neighbors, and gives them a sense of community and belonging. The cultural events funded by this stimulus package could very do wonders in terms of restored what will no doubt be a bruised and battered American spirit. And look, at every single concert, performance, and other event this stimulus package would support, I'm sure the performers would be more than delighted than to open each show with a statement about how "this performance is made possible by our generous and thoughtful political leaders." Won't that alone make this worthwhile? If this doesn’t happen, I fear that the rich cultural tapestry of the United States will be irrevocably harmed for decades to come.

This will help Americans while they are affected due to the chaos that is going on.

As a group, the working class of California have been financially devastated by the critical and necessary measures put in place to slow the spread of COVID-19. Though the federal government may eventually provide relief, the immediate conservation of our limited financial resources is necessary for our own and our family's health and well-being. Rentors, Leasors, banks and other relevant institutions can, as a class seek their own relief; the state and federal government is much more responsive and historically more likely to act on their behalf. We must protect our limited cash flow immediately. Como grupo, la clase trabajadora de California se ha visto devastada financieramente por las medidas críticas y necesarias implementadas para frenar la propagación de COVID-19. Aunque el gobierno federal eventualmente puede proporcionar alivio, la conservación inmediata de nuestros recursos financieros limitados es necesaria para la salud y el bienestar de nuestra familia y la nuestra. Los arrendatarios, arrendadores, bancos y otras instituciones relevantes pueden, como clase, buscar su propio alivio; El gobierno estatal y federal es mucho más receptivo e históricamente más propenso a actuar en su nombre. Debemos proteger nuestro flujo de caja limitado de inmediato. 이것이 왜 중요한 일 인지 아십니까? 우리는 COVID-19로 인한 필수불가결한 조치에 의해 경제적 활동이 불가피하게 중단된 LA의 노동자 단체입니다. 우리는 가족들의 안정된 생활을 위해, 제한된 경제적 자원 수급에 대한 즉각적인 대화가 필요함을 느낍니다. 우리의 제한적 경제 활동에 대한 보호조치가 즉각적으로 이루어져야 합니다.
