Petition to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom & San Francisco Board of Supervisors. We, the undersigned, feel that the decades-long \"Halloween in the Castro\" street celebration should be preserved and continued with the use of community planning and full support of San Francisco city resources (funding, public safety, coordination of departments, annual planning, etc.). We feel this annual tradition builds community, preserves and advances LGBT culture, builds tourism and revenue for the City, and keeps San Francisco as a world-class city.

The silence from City Hall is heavy and feels intentional. I have been spending my nights writing letters to the supervisors even though the responses are identical form emails. This is exhausting work but the history of our streets is worth the struggle.

Ridiculous to shut this down. It is literally the best night of the year in the city.

We need to find a way to make it work safely instead of just canceling it. It belongs in the castro.

Keep the tradition alive. SF is losing its soul and this is a big part of what makes it fun.
