A Place for the Homeless to Go.When I moved here, I was blown away by the love and help my son and I received. We were lucky enough to be able to camp for the 6 months we were homeless and we had so much help from the community. I see the need for a safe place for the homeless to go and want to give back and find a way to help.37 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tara Wilson

Stop Elon Musk's Starlink Satellite programSince the dawn of man we have looked up to the sky and been inspired by the countless stars and constellations. We've lived and died under clear starry night skies and now Elon Musk is planning to send 12,000 satellites up into the sky to muddy it up and pollute beyond recognition the last pure thing we as a species have left.215 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Kristopher Hunter

$2000 a month Basic Income for American TaxpayersThe American economy has taking a huge hit with unemployment skyrocketing over March and April 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic and the numbers will continue to rise. We are witnessing a domino effect of massive job loss. Businesses close, then the taxpayers have no income to report to the IRS and no taxes to be paid. Of course no income means a steep decline in the agriculture industry, food processing, banking, and mortgage industries just to name a few. Our tax dollars are what makes this economy rise or fall. It is the government's spending of this money which determines what programs are funded or not, and what is considered valuable. Well, now it is time for our government to show its appreciation to loyal American taxpayers by helping us through one of the most financial difficulties in current times. Way too often, large companies such as banks receive MILLIONS OF TAXPAYER MONEY so they will not collapse even though CEO's receive million dollar bonuses and the company makes millions in profits. The government is EAGER to provide them with tax breaks and trillion dollar relief funds at American taxpayer expense. Millions of American taxpayers are working making under $30,000 a year, many more are working 2 jobs, such as teachers, just to somewhat survive. The cost of rent, utilities, food, gas, etc., continues to grow except incomes. A basic income of $2000 a month for American taxpayers age 18 and older and $500 a month for children would give a great start in boosting the economy. Once this financial difficulty has lifted, the economy won't take as long to recover.288 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Shante Jenkins

Test ALL Ohio Prison Inmates and Essential StaffThis is important to curve the amount of staff and inmates from contracting the virus. This is important to save lives. The inmates live in close quarters and congregate within close proximity therefore it would be almost impossible to socially distance while incarcerated.1,862 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Tara Mosley Samples

Protect South Boulder Creek's Floodplain and Preserve Open Space: Support a Land ExchangeThe University of Colorado (“CU”) wants to build a massive new campus on land that is in and near the South Boulder Creek Floodplain. The new campus could include housing for several thousand students, staff, and faculty; 8 academic buildings; permanent sports facilities; and parking lots. Development at CU South will destroy habitat for endangered species and many other plants and animals that live there now. It would eliminate a hugely popular recreation spot, and put people in harm’s way in the event of another catastrophic flood. CU cannot build unless and until the City annexes the land. We believe that a land swap would be much better than building in the floodplain and ask Council to take the following actions: 1. Prior to decisions about annexation, Council should expedite a planning process and urban services study to evaluate city-owned land in North Boulder suitable for development that could be exchanged for the “CU South” land. The urban services study is the first step towards a land exchange. 2. The Planning Reserve land at Jay Road and 28th St. is the best option and has already been identified as "potentially suitable for new urban development.” 3. Commit to preserving and restoring the wetlands and grasslands in the South Boulder Creek Floodplain for flood mitigation, environmental values, and recreation. CU SHOULD DEVELOP ELSEWHERE 1. Since the 1970s, the popular recreation area now known as “CU South,” has been targeted for official designation as Open Space. The land is bordered by Open Space and a State Natural Area, and is considered the missing piece in Boulder’s Open Space greenway. It's also a key part of the South Boulder Creek Floodplain. 2. CU could build on higher, drier land appropriate for development, not a floodplain containing endangered species as well as rare and irreplaceable habitat. 3. CU's demands for annexation and development at "CU South" would cost the City tens of millions of dollars initially and create long-term financial risks and liabilities for the City. NOW IS THE TIME FOR A LAND EXCHANGE 1. The University of Colorado has stated its willingness to consider a land swap for the Boulder Planning Reserve land. 2. A land exchange would protect wetlands and open space in and adjacent to the South Boulder Creek Floodplain, be consistent with intelligent land use planning and science, and meet CU's need for housing plus 30 acres of playing fields. These are substantial advantages to a “CU North” campus. City Council should ACT NOW on this opportunity for a win-win solution.893 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Harlin Savage

No more risks!It is important because our love ones can get the disease, as we can too. All employees were exposed to this person who came out positive to Covid-19. Employees don't want to bring this disease to our loved ones. Some of these employees have new born or even month old babies and children, who are a high risk group.211 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Rosa Garcia
