We want to apologize for the technical difficulties many of you experienced with our form earlier today.

The form is now back up and running. We understand that this may have caused frustration and inconvenience, and we sincerely appreciate your patience while we worked to resolve the issue.

If you sent us an email regarding the form, please know that we will work with everyone who reached out and make sure your concerns are addressed.

We made an effort to have the form available on a Saturday to make it more accessible and convenient for as many people as possible, and we regret that technical issues affected that experience.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
