📢RALLY📢with NY4P and the #PlayFair Coalition this Thursday, 1/23 at 10:30am on the steps of City Hall. Join us in calling on @NYCMayor to fully fund @NYCParks' staffing/programs for a fairer, more livable and resilient city. 💥RSVP:

Parks make NYC livable. @NYCMayor’s proposed budget makes gains for @NYCParks, but still comes up short. For a truly family-friendly NYC, we must invest $95M for 1,000 staff to ensure safe, clean, resilient parks that improve quality of life for all. Full #PlayFair statement:

Parks make NYC livable. But budget cuts have depleted @NYCParks' resources, causing staffing shortages & unsafe conditions. RALLY with #PlayFair to demand investment in parks/parks workers for a fairer NYC. 📅 Thurs, 1/23 @ 10:30AM 📍 City Hall Steps ➡️

Would you pay an extra dollar for @NYCParks? @Gothamist spoke with NY4P about a new proposal to add a $1 surcharge to tickets for concerts, games and shows in parks to fund much-needed maintenance.

Ray, an @NYCParks crew chief, has seen firsthand the impacts of @NYCMayor’s budget cuts: a demoralized workforce struggling to maintain heavily used parks with scarce resources, and worsening conditions for New Yorkers. Take action. Visit to #SaveNYCParks

Parks, libraries, and cultural institutions bring New Yorkers together, but @NYCParks was the ONLY agency to face cuts in @NYCMayor's latest city budget. Parks and parks workers are essential, and they deserve their fair share. Visit to #SaveNYCParks!

Last week, #PlayFair advocates @vcpalliance spoke with News 12 about devastating brushfires in Van Cortlandt Park and the strain placed on @NYCParks staff following @NYCMayor's budget cuts.
