John,

The COVID-19 global pandemic proved the importance of quality parks
and open spaces to our health, safety, and quality of life.
Communities that have equal access to parks and open spaces are
stronger, healthier, more livable, and more connected.

Yet too many people across the nation lacked access to such
places of refuge during the pandemic. In fact, across America 100
million people ... including 28 million children ...
don't have a park within a 10-minute walk of home.

Having access to parks and nature should be a right, not a
privilege. That's the fundamental belief behind The Trust for
Public Land's mission to create parks and protect land for
people. And it is the driving force behind our commitment to close the
park equity divide that exists in too many communities in our country
- to ensure everyone can benefit from nature, parks, and green
spaces.

Our goal: By 2025, The Trust for Public Land will work directly
with hundreds of communities to put a quality park within a 10-minute
walk of five million people who currently lack access and transform
barren asphalt schoolyards into vibrant parks in 20 underserved school
districts, improving park access for another six million people.

And thanks to our cost-efficiency, our ability to leverage land
deals, and our advocacy efforts to recruit additional government and
corporate support, every dollar donated to The Trust for Public Land
from dedicated supporters like you can create $3 for parks ...
which means we can make three times the progress toward ensuring that
everyone, especially those 28 million children, has the same access to
nature and green spaces that we all treasure.

This is an incredibly ambitious goal that will require the support of
all our members, advocates, and friends. That's why I am asking
you to tell us if you will support this work by providing one of the
following two answers:

YES! I support The Trust for Public Land's commitment to
equity and efforts to close the park equity divide that exists in
too many communities across the nation.

OR

NO. I choose not to support The Trust for Public Land's
efforts to close the park equity divide which exists in too many
communities across the nation.

[link removed]

Your answer will aid The Trust for Public Land in determining
whether we can expect your support in the future for our vital work to
bring parks and green spaces to millions of people around the
country.

Please share your answer with me today ... this is an
aggressive goal with an equally aggressive schedule, so we have no
time to waste. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Kim Elliot
Director of Membership
