• We support your suggestion to release federal prisoners convicted of nonviolent crimes now
    This petition is important to encourage the president to act on his own suggestion. Especially medical prisoners need to be released so they can get the care they need to prevent coronavirus and for the medical challenges that sent them to specialized medical facilities. And to free prison resources to be used where needed.

  • Emergency Rent & Debt Collection
    As a group, the working class of Stockton have been financially devastated 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. What happens in May when I owe 2 months rent? Or June when I owe 3? I won't be evicted now because they don't want me on the streets but will they evict me then? The rent needs to be forgiven while I CANT WORK. What happens when the businesses who can't reopen fail and millions are looking for work? Rent and Mortgage moratorium (no rent or mortgage collection), forgiveness (you will never owe it), deferment (interest or payments are frozen and moved forward) are absolutely necessary to our current health and well being, and our economic future.

  • Ban Trump's Harmful News Conferences
    Our very lives depend on muzzling this individual. If Mr. Trump suddenly disappeared from all media, as he well should have long before this crisis, we might have a shot at our lives returning to some semblance of normalcy.

  • 90 day mortgage relief for CA
    We 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.

  • Post-COVID Arts Stimulus
    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.
