Mayor Adams’ refusal to restore NYC Parks budget cuts is a slap in the face to the New Yorkers who rely on these vital spaces and the Parks workers struggling to maintain them. By failing to provide basic services and staffing for NYC Parks, the mayor is endangering New Yorkers and weakening communities. These actions perpetuate a dangerous trend of disinvestment in parks at a time when these spaces are more critical than ever.
The mayor’s stated commitment to public health, safety, and quality of life stands in stark contrast to his consistent neglect of our city's parks system. Despite pledging to allocate 1% of the city budget for NYC Parks on the campaign trail, his administration has instead repeatedly undermined the agency, bringing staffing levels below pre-pandemic numbers.
Will you support us as we challenge the mayor to reverse these damaging decisions and prioritize the restoration and support of our parks, which are vital to the health, safety, and well-being of all New Yorkers?
We know we can count on you to stand with us to demand power to the parks!
In gratitude,
