You deserve our gratitude – and so does City Hall. Send them a quick note of thanks.
When I met with lawmakers at City Hall, I heard time and time again that the messages you sent were getting their attention.
You spoke. They listened.
It's thanks to you our programs will continue to teach millions of our guests each year about the wonders of wildlife. And it's thanks to you that the Bronx Zoo and New York Aquarium will continue to be both an economic boon to New York as well as a cultural beacon.
You gave City Hall the push it needed to do the right thing for New York's cultural organizations.
It's important to let them know that you noticed and appreciated their work. Send them a quick note of thanks for restoring this funding!
Thanks for all you've done to protect these organizations.
