Hello farm bill fall

we will all have a good week

What happened nutritionally in the past three days can never happen again

Criminalizing homelessness won’t solve the crisis. Keeping rents low + housing our homeless neighbors will. This SCOTUS decision is cruel. But our fight for homes for all continues.

New Yorkers, we urgently need your support NOW. In the face of Mayor Adams’ proposed funding cuts to community composting programs across the city, GrowNYC is confronting an unprecedented challenge. The big picture: City contracts have historically been the backbone of support for GrowNYC’s Zero Waste programming, enabling us to make significant strides in creating a more sustainable and resilient New York City. Unfortunately, the proposed funding cuts are jeopardizing our vital community composting program, posing a threat not only to the progress we’ve made but to the very foundation of our organization. We need your support more than ever: This month, your impact on the city we love will be doubled! GrowNYC is deeply grateful to announce that the American Heart Association will match donations up to $20,000 throughout December. Please consider making a tax-deductible gift at a level that is meaningful to you and help us sustain our crucial community compost work across all five boroughs. Make a gift by visiting grownyc.org/support-us Please sign our petition grownyc.org/petition by MONDAY, DECEMBER 11. When you do, an email with our letter will be sent to the Mayor demanding him to halt the elimination of community compost programs! Your voice will help us make a powerful stand, demand support, and protect our environment! #saveourcompost

The orange GrowNYC composting tents that are a familiar sight at markets citywide will make their last appearances from Dec. 13-17. gothamist.com/news/compost-c…

🎉 Exciting news! 🎉 Thanks to our incredible community support, we've surpassed 20,000 signatures on our petition to save community composting! We're immensely grateful to everyone who signed and shared the petition to save these important programs. At GrowNYC, we see composting as more than waste reduction—it's a tool for community building, fostering healthy soil for gardens, supporting urban farms, and combating climate change. Our passion for composting drives our fight to preserve these programs. Special thanks to our city council colleagues for their unwavering support amid budget cuts proposed by Mayor Adams. Your dedication to sustainability and community building is truly inspiring. Our work isn't done! We still need more signatures on our petition to demonstrate to Mayor Adams that community composting is indispensable for our city. Please continue sharing the petition with friends, family, and colleagues. Visit grownyc.org/petition to sign the petition and thank you for your ongoing support!

I've covered social media platforms for years. It's not my primary focus now, but it's impossible not to notice the sparse moderation during breaking news. The disinformation, propaganda, and violence seem inescapable while reporting and analysis is cloistered.

The Roxanne Reid Memorial Garden & @GrowNYC is the best of what NY has to offer. Not only do community gardens help reduce food insecurity, teach urban agriculture & self-sustainability, but they provide mental health benefits, nutrition & places for community to come together.

If you are in NYC Wednesday please visit @ericjoonho at the Union Square Greenmarket. He’ll be slinging furikake tomato sandwiches for @nytcooking at the @GrowNYC booth. Demos and q&a at 11 and noon. Don’t let him stand there all alone!

Right now, Vermont & New York are seeing biblical rain. Many of our farmers are losing crops. Tonight we can't do anything to help, but we will soon (picking stones from fields, helping to replant, buying what they have to sell). Wherever you are, please support your local farms!

Prioritizing community over competition, care over incarceration, and collective liberation over capitalism are the only ways through and out of the climate crisis.
