    I am personally reaching out to encourage you to consider renewal and expansion of the PHXbizConnect HUUB platform so that businesses can continue to get support in this critical time. As a business owner in Phoenix, this tool has been vital to helping me navigate the pandemic and even grow.

    I make use of the following benefits on HUUB/Phx Biz Connect:
    Connected with other businesses
    Learned something new that I could apply to my business
    Able to connect with city and community resources.

    I am reaching out as a HUUB advisor to encourage you to consider renewed funding and support the expansion of the successful HUUB/Phx Biz Connect platform in Phoenix. With more than 400+ businesses currently using the platform and with an expected growth of 1,000 businesses by year end, it would be a shame to not renew this community resource and further invest in our businesses success. This is a locally grown tool that has gained national recognition by the SBA and White House. Thank you.

    I am personally reaching out to encourage you to consider renewal and expansion of the PHXbizConnect HUUB platform so that businesses can continue to get support in this critical time. HUUB has the ability to provide easy access to grant-funded consulting services. I would love to see the city invest in offering thousands of business owners free consultants through HUUB’s 24/7 online tool to help us grow our businesses. Thank you for your time & consideration.

As a business owner in Phoenix, this tool has been vital to helping me navigate the pandemic and even grow. I believe this platform should be a standard tool for all cities, but especially Phoenix.

    Support the renewal and expansion of HUUB/PHX Biz Connect - a resource navigation tool for small business and entrepreneur resources, especially now in the pandemic! With more than 400 businesses on the platform, it's already getting traction so expand to deliver technical assistance through this platform. No new money for programs that can't be measured.

    No new money to the Phoenix police. We need money for social services, and Housing.

    Invest in the community and stop ignoring the needs of residents. We want funding in education, housing, and healthcare.

    Funding the Department of Crisis Response should come from the police budget. It will save the city money in decreased police labor.

    I want to see every single human living housed in PHX before another cent is given to the unaccountable PHX police.

    The community is active and engaged.

    No new money for the Police Department, we need to freeze policing hiring and deny raises. No more special protections for police in the MOU. We need to fund alternative responses to mental health calls that police do not need to be involved in. They do not have the training or expertise to handle these situations without incident. We need to reallocate funds from the police to other departments within social services. The Police do not need more money.

    No more tax dollars for PHX Police Dept. As a community we need to protect those who are most vulnerable to police violence and systematic I justices: BIPOC & low income neighborhoods. We need to invest in mental health care that is readily available to all; address homelessness and housing insecurities; invest in updating and improving our public transportation which so many rely on. Not another cent should be given to PHX PD.

    No new money for the Phoenix PD. Utilize funds freed up from not hiring new cops to pay for the proposed crisis response program. Fund public transport and improve the quality of service provided. Increase the amount of bus & bike only lanes. Fund accessible mental health resources that reach the most vulnerable. Fund addiction and substance abuse resources, fund resources for youth in Black and Brown neighborhoods. Don't use COVID relief money to cover PhxPD bonuses.Stop over relying on PhxPD.

    Please do not increase the amount of spending on police. Please especially do not allocate COVID relief money to police bonuses. While the proposed public safety reform expenditures may come from good intentions, please understand that marginalized Phoenicians have been promised reform for years while the officers YOU hired continue to over-police, terrorize and kill people. Perhaps Phoenix PD will not take our demands seriously until they feel the heat of being defunded.

    I support the arts as it inspires, builds and strengthens our community. I would like to thank the City Council for demonstrating continued dedication to arts organizations & artists through relief funding & prioritization in this trial budget. The increased budget will allow for more inclusive programming and critical maintenance required to enhance the health and sustainability of our arts infrastructure. Thank you again for your continued support to the Office of Arts & Culture.

    I am in support of building the park on 55th ave and Samantha. I have 3 children and need a park we can safely walk to. The nearest park is 3 miles away. This is unacceptable. Please build a park for our children .
