This petition aims to save the NASA concert hall in Reykjavík, one of the true gems of the city. The hall is currently under serious threat of being demolished and redeveloped into a hotel.
NASA is rightfully beloved not only of the local music community and indigenous music audience, but by the tens of thousands of visitors who come to Reykjavík every year for the Airwaves Festival and various other music events on the city's cultural calendar.
NASA is a legendary space that holds precious memories for many people, as the Facebook outcry at the news of the senseless destruction of this very special venue illustrates. Reykjavík has a huge amount of hotels, and no shortage of space for new or regenerated buildings, but there is only one NASA. Wiping out this venue is an upsetting decision that amounts to an attack on the unique music culture of Reykjavík.
The undersigned would ask the people behind this to look very carefully at their decision, to see sense, and to reconsider this destructive course of action.

I just looked at the counter and realized we are almost at a thousand signatures and honestly that is just wild because I remember when it was just me and a few friends obsessing over the venue. We really need to sprint the rest of the way to that milestone so the developers see how much this hall actually matters before they start moving any equipment. If you could just blast the link out to your groups right now while I try to find a coffee that isn't cold it would be a huge help.

I can see the counter creeping up toward that first hundred milestone and it honestly makes me think about all the shows I saw there back in the day before this hotel talk started. We really need to keep this momentum moving so if you have a second please just ping a few friends who care about the music scene to help us get over this hump.

NASA is legendary. You cant just tear down the history of our music scene for more tourist rooms. Stop this now.
Seriously? Another hotel? We have enough of those. Leave the music venues alone!
We need culture not more hotels! Keep NASA open!
This is honestly so sad. Why does everything cool have to be replaced by boring stuff? Keep our venue!
SO many good nights spent at NASA. Dont destroy it. It makes Reykjavik what it is.

It's time to FORCE Congress and the Senate to support what the American people WANT! NASA is one of the cornerstones of our COUNTRY!
