90 day mortgage relief for CAWe are currently experiencing a worldwide crisis leaving a huge percent of the workforce out of work. Small businesses are suffering and facing bankruptcy. For the majority, their ability to bring in money has been forcefully removed. A large part of our population have no options to bring in compensation during this time of forced isolation. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Now is the time for Governor Newsom to follow his wise ‘stay at home’ order with a wise ‘90 day mortgage relief’ order.131 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jolie Downs

Relief for independent businesses during crisisMost 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.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shay Leonard

Investigate Senator Burr and Friends for SEC ViolationsNo 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.83 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Scott Cote

Rent ReliefBecause 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.201 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Dana Harris

COVID-19 Emergency Rent and Debt ForgivenessAs 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.511 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Cecelia Spring

COVID 19 Emergency Rent, Mortgage, Loan, Debt StayIt’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.65 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jose Remigio

Post-COVID Arts StimulusIt 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.968 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Seth Kibel
