Take Action
SIGN NOW: Public health and park access should not be determined by zip code
In America’s biggest cities, residents of neighborhoods of color have access to 44 percent less park space per person than those of white neighborhoods.
Communities with less park space are hotter in summer, have worse air quality, and are more susceptible to catastrophic flooding. Lack of access to parks is also associated with higher rates of disease, stroke, and obesity.
That’s why our Federal Affairs team has been working around the clock to convince Congress to support robust funding for local parks.
Your help is needed to get Congress to act. Please take a moment to urge your legislators to support funding for local parks today, so we can create and improve parks in neighborhoods that will benefit most!
