57 State Parks to Close Due to Budget Shortfall

Save 0ur State Parks Day - March 3, 2010
 
55 parks will close unless you speak out
 
Meet, call, write, or e-mail your legislators on March 3 - Save Our State Parks Day
  
Imagine if 56 million people-the number of park visitors last year-contacted their legislators to protest park closings. 
 
If we all act, we can win the battle to keep parks open.
 
Please be part of this historic day.
 
Here's how:  
  • Come to a rally in Albany at noon
  • Visit legislators - don't worry, you'll be part of a team
  • If you can't come to Albany, you can still participate by calling or emailing your assembly member and senetor on March 3 - let's tie up their switchboards and flood their inboxes!
We'll be sending you more details next week.  But for today, please put March 3 on your calendar.
