To take a tagline from @bxspeakup , Bronx Parks Are Essential ❤️

And they all deserve funding

1% should be the floor, yet for too long it has been the aspiration.

Budget cuts to parks are not new for NYC. This @nytimes letter to the editor from 1991 says it all. Mayor Adams can turn decades of disinvestment around, but only if he reinstates NYC Park's budget. Let's not go back to the early 90s! Send letter: https://t.co/fLiTLnF0Ti

[Shekar Krishnan @voteshekar]

To every @nycparks worker, every POP participants, every New Yorker who loves their local park or playground—thank you. We fought hard because saving this program means cleaner, safer parks & stronger communities.

Now let's see more critical services restored.

[Van Cortlandt Park Alliance @vcpalliance]

Last week, VCPA’s Deputy Director joined other parks groups to testify against the budget cuts to NYC Parks.

[New Yorkers for Parks @NY4P]

“@NYCMayor came into office with a commitment to #1Percent4Parks, and what we’ve seen year after year is a cut to @NYCParks. This is a shoestring budget agency that is barely able to do the bare minimum for New Yorkers. There’s no fat to cut away.”

[Billie Jean King @BillieJeanKing]

Say #NoCutsToParks!

@NYCMayor has slashed the @NYCParks budget, and more cuts are coming.

Already 1450+ frontline parks maintenance workers have been lost. More cuts mean more trash-filled parks, playgrounds, beaches, and ballfields.

📰@voteshekar in @amNewYork on the human cost of the shuttered POPs program:

“For 3 decades, program participants – overwhelmingly young women of color – have had the opportunity to improve our @NYCParks as they stabilized & improved their own lives.”
