The same ask is open in 92 counties in 10 states — 0 signatures across all of them. Each county's petition goes to its own officials and counts toward its own goal; together they show how many places want the same thing. See every county →

Why it matters

Decisions about Fort Collins's money are made in public meetings, but working people can't always be there. We ask that every agenda be posted online at least a week before the meeting, with its supporting documents, and that video or full minutes of every meeting be posted afterward. If you can't attend, you should still be able to see what was decided and why.

Sign

Your name, town and email are never shown on this site, sold or shared. The public sees only how many signed and from which towns. One signature per person.

What’s happened

Raised by residents — not yet carried to the county.

This is a petition to your elected officials — like the clipboard at the courthouse door. It does not put anything on the ballot; that takes the state’s official petition process. Signatures are counted, not verified — one per browser; the delivered copy removes duplicates. Like everything here, petitions can’t campaign for candidates or ballot measures, or name county staff.
