Project 2025 calls to “reject efforts to create universal school meals." Thanks to the @MinnesotaDFL trifecta, we have this. Feeding kids is an investment in our future. Vote for @EducationMN endorsed candidates who will put kids first, not focus on tax cuts for billionaires.

Following yesterday's FT report on agribusiness lobbying, @FarmActionUS has a terrific database of market concentration in the US food system, with CR4 running from a mere 60% (poultry) to 90% (cotton seed). farmaction.us/agriculture-co…

The Spring Slow Down Fundraiser is a great way to support our year-round programs, including operations of Ujima Garden, an organic urban farm in Brooklyn that’s 100% funded & managed by our all-volunteer chapter. We grow & donate over 1,000 lbs of produce in the growing season!

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

It's on! The historic March to End Fossil Fuels is taking to the streets of NYC. Follow along with us for more clips from the heart of the march! #EndFossilFuels

Sign on @GrowNYC, tell your City Council & state reps that we need these vital programs in the FY24 NYC & NYS budgets: access to fresh local food, school gardens, Greenmarkets, #ZeroWaste, composting & more. Your support helps GrowNYC serve New Yorkers—RT! grownyc.org/petition
