Please sign and share this petition asking for the mayor to allocate the remaining property tax rebate funds (~$15 million) to youth programing and crime prevention.
Specifically for:
Winter youth employment programs
To create mentorship programs for 5th and 6th graders
To create a residential security pilot program
To establish “street-level violence" prevention programs
Right now the mayor wants to allocate this remaining money to things like trees, parks, business incubators and rehabbing homes but none of those investments will be made in Hermosa or the NWside.
