ALT New Yorkers spoke—and the City Council listened. With everything at stake, our city’s vibrant composting community stopped at nothing to fight back against the proposed mayoral budget cuts. They showed up in droves at rallies and press conferences. They testified at every committee hearing. They called their district offices. They signed petitions, wrote letters, and approached their council members in the street to demand restorations. It all mattered. Today, we are incredibly proud to announce that the Council will be restoring $6.245 million to community composting program and creating a new, more sustainable path forward for our community composting coalition.
