Since GrowNYC has received private funding, the Mayor and DSNY now only need to restore $1.75 million in funding to save these essential programs and 60 jobs at the 7 organizations.
We ask that you please reach out to the Mayor and Commissioner today with this new information and ask DSNY to restore funding for all seven of the Compost Project partners:
- Call 311 and ask to leave a message for the Mayor
- Send a message to the Mayor online
- Send a message to the DSNY commissioner
- Share our social media posts
The budget cuts will eliminate:
-
Composting and distribution of 1,500 cubic yards of compost to over 325 community groups, parks, 85 street tree care events, and thousands of individuals each year
-
Master Composter activities which engage over 1,000 yearly participants in food, farming, and composting
-
Compost outreach and education to over 225,000 New Yorkers annually
-
6 community composting sites
Thank you in advance for your support and solidarity in advocating for this social, economic and Environmental Justice issue.
