Make a quick phone call to Pa. Senator Nikil Saval to protect nearly 100 acres of irreplaceable natural land in FDR Park. #Savethemeadows #SouthPhilly

Note to @PhillyMayor: Florida Gov Ron DeSantis is making you look bad. Even he knows when it's time to drop a plan to wreck a park.

Thank you @gridphilly & @amberonradio!
Installing toxic turf for kids to play on is beyond irresponsible.
Destroying a precious natural area to do it is inexplicable. #savethemeadows

There's a bill in @PHLCouncil Commerce Cmte today on @FIFAWorldCup agreements that have been kept from the public's prying eyes for some reason.
It should be voted down— if not pulled entirely. @marksquilla @CouncilmemberKJ #SunshineAct #SaveTheMeadows

Ott Lovell may've been a great social director. But she was also great at privatization and environmental destruction. Cobbs Creek & FDR Park may never recover.
Maybe @PhilaParkandRec can recover its mission and puts parks & people over profits & privatization. #SaveTheMeadows

We had the Lakes practically to ourselves for many years, and we're grateful for that. Now they're ruining it. Too many people will be coming in now with Cafés, parking lots & ⚽asphalt fields& Large tree canopy is gone.

According to the industry, artificial turf cannot be made without PFAS. theguardian.com/environment/…
Just one of the many reasons @PhilaParkandRec's plan to replace 50-60 acres of FDR Meadows with $100M of artificial turf is ... insanity. #SaveTheMeadows

Great! Would help if @PhilaParkandRec would stop bulldozing the FDR tree canopy, and not replace FDR meadows with toxic artificial turf that hits 140°F in the summer. #SaveTheMeadows actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

Cool – just don't let @FIFAWorldCup be used as the excuse to bulldoze the FDR Meadows for artificial turf fields. Use existing practice fields, or build them over parking lots.
Let South Philly keep this wild open space. It's all we've got. #SaveTheMeadows actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

This is why we @savethemeadows won’t stop talking about how Parks commissioner Kathryn Ott Lovell wants even more cops in parks! Imagine the budget we could have for our parks if it wasn’t wasted on corrupt policing.

Says a lot about the state of Philly’s community anti-violence programs when one of the biggest grant recipients wound up paying city cops and their kids to attend an athletics program, presumably to seem like they were doing something inquirer.com/news/philadelph…

So disappointed to see that the bouncers at the event asking attendees - at a PUBLIC meeting - which side of the issue they were on, and not letting in people who said they wanted to #SaveTheMeadows.
Many @PennEnvironment members had questions about the plan and weren't let it

Can’t get inside, but holding it down with 100 people out on the street who also want to #SaveTheMeadows

We're here in #SouthPhilly at the community meeting about the next phases for FDR park. We think there's a strong case to be made to #SaveTheMeadows & have wild space in South Philly - habitat you can take the subway too is valuable for all! Seems like a lot of folks here agree!
