COMMUNITY PRIORITY
Community Care & Safety
Community care means actionable, local practices that ensure people feel safe, supported, and connected. Government should empower Osiders to take care of each other, not get in the way.
01
Prevention over crisis response
Fund the local programs — mental health, youth, senior, and veteran services — that stop emergencies before they start.
02
Prepared neighborhoods
Every block should know its plan for fire, flood, and heat. Emergency preparedness resources in English and Spanish.
03
Language access
City services and safety information available in the languages District 2 neighbors actually speak.
04
Resilient by design
When we prioritize community care, we build stronger, more resilient communities where everyone has a chance to thrive.
Decisions Coming to City Hall
- Wildfire preparedness: D2 is the city's most fire-prone district, and our readiness has to match the risk.
- Traffic and safe streets: Growth has outpaced our roads; we need traffic calming, safer crossings, and more walkable and bikeable streets.
- Community spaces: Invest in parks, markets, and free places to gather so neighbors can build trust.
- Community trust and inclusion: Pass the community trust resolution and raise the Pride flag every June.
