Dear GrowNYC Supporters,
For those of us dedicated to environmental action, justice, and sustainability, the recent election’s implications are profound. Our work and the communities we serve are facing significant challenges. Eight years ago, GrowNYC saw firsthand the destructive impact of policies that aimed to dismantle vital environmental, agricultural, and food security protections. Today, we find ourselves on the brink of similar threats.
But this isn’t a time for despair—it’s a moment to come together, to reinvest and strengthen our commitment to each other, our planet, and our communities.
Since 1970, GrowNYC has been powered by New Yorkers like you. Together, we’ve advocated for lasting environmental solutions, created green spaces, provided fresh produce to those in need, and empowered countless individuals to grow food, build community, and protect our urban environment. While much has changed, our mission and spirit remain as strong as ever.
Today, we’re calling on you to help ensure that GrowNYC can continue to be a beacon of sustainability for all of New York City. The path to a just and sustainable future is long, and we cannot walk it alone.
Your support now is more critical than ever. Will you stand with us in this fight for a future where all New Yorkers can thrive in a healthy, sustainable, and equitable city?
Please consider making a tax deductible donation today. Every contribution makes a difference. Together, we’ll face the challenges ahead with resilience and hope.
Thank you for being a part of our community and for your unwavering commitment.
With gratitude,
Marcel Van Ooyen
