Take the 1 Train to 116th St and join @NYCSpeakerAdams, @NYCCouncil Members, NY4P and the #PlayFair Coalition for a rally demanding the reversal of @nycmayor’s $55M+ budget cuts to @NYCParks

[Friends of Morningside Park NYC @NYCmorningside]

Fantastic effort. See you tomorrow! #SaveNYCParks

[Shaun Abreu @ShaunAbreu]

Budget cuts threaten the safety and cleanliness of our parks.

Join me, council members, and advocates tomorrow for a rally to #SaveNYCParks.

11AM at the Carl Schurz Memorial—116th & Morningside Drive—along Morningside Park. Best way to arrive is by the 1 train. See you there!

[Friends of Morningside Park NYC @NYCmorningside]

Yes! And there’s an option to vote for upgrades to one of our park entrances.

[Majority Leader Shaun Abreu @CMShaunAbreu]

And we’re off! The first participatory budgeting ballot has been cast at our district office.

Our office will be a voting site all week, so stop on by to make your voice heard on how to spend $1 million in our community.

Anyone ages 11 and up can vote!

[Friends of Morningside Park NYC @NYCmorningside]

@galeabrewer Thank you for your advocacy on this Gale. Morningside has also suffered from festivals that left our ballfields a mess. And, unlike our large park neighbor we don’t have resources galore to fix the damage afterwards. There are other venues that would be more suitable.

[New Yorkers for Parks @NY4P]

.@NYCMayor's 5% cuts to @NYCParks will leave the agency w/ less staff than it had pre-Covid. What's at stake?

🗑️Delayed trash pick-up

💦Delayed fountain/sprinkler activation

🚽Longterm bathroom closures

💉Delayed needle disposal

Thanks for pointing this out @ByNRosenthal. Despite repeated requests, in all the years of @NYCParks #mulchfest we recall just one year in which there was a chipping location in Harlem. Wouldn't it be nice if Harlem residents could also get free mulch at convenient locations?

Thanks for the coverage @PIX11News.
As signatures on the petition approach 2100 it’s clear that this waterfall and pond are treasured features in our park.

We need your help spreading the word!

Budget negotiations are down to the wire, and @NYCParks faces significant cuts. 
We call on @NYCMayor & @NYCCouncil to reverse 40+ years of disinvestment and allocate #1Percent4Parks

❗@NYCIBO's report, "#1Percent4Parks? A Historical & Current Overview of the Parks Budget," highlights what we've said for decades: @NYCParks needs transformative investment.

@NYPD26Pct So sorry we weren’t able to attend and give thanks to DET. Harper in person for his many years of exemplary service. All the best to him. He’d will be missed!

[NYPD 26th Precinct @NYPD26Pct]

We had a very productive walk-through of the great Morningside Park with our friends from @nycparks, @ColumbiaDPS, @MountSinaiNYC, and @NYCmorningside Park.

Public safety is a joint responsibility, and we are incredibly fortunate to have such great partners to work with.

[Friends of Morningside Park NYC @NYCmorningside]

@NYPD26Pct @NYCParks @ColumbiaDPS @MountSinaiNYC Well said.
