The future of our city’s sustainability is at stake. Mayor Adams’ proposed funding cuts for community composting pose a serious threat to the crucial work carried out by community compost organizations.

Join us on Wednesday, December 6 at 12 PM, for a press conference and rally at City Hall Park. This is not just a gathering; it’s a rallying cry to preserve the foundations of our environmental initiatives. Your support is crucial!
