Dear Greenway Friends,
There has never been a more important opportunity for us to move the East Coast Greenway forward. The people of our country are flocking to greenways at unprecedented levels as they need safe, equitable public space to connect with nature and each other for their physical and mental health. A federal Greenway Stimulus of $10 billion in planning and construction of biking and walking networks would drive strong economic recovery in these tough times.
Please enjoy the amazing video below showing the fruit of our advocacy paired with skilled construction workers' labor in Salisbury, Massachusetts. And you don't want to miss this national article from Streetsblog asking an important question, "Is a Federal Greenway Act What the U.S. Needs to Recover from COVID-19?"
Together, we can get it done. Your continued donations are needed to keep this effort going strong as we strive toward a healthy, equitable and sustainable future.
Thank you,
Dennis Markatos-Soriano, Executive Director
