Sample message: I am writing to ask for your immediate support for "INTRO 1524 - the ChildSafe Parks Act" which would prohibit the use of toxic chemical pesticides in the parks where our children play. The compelling and growing science linking exposure to pesticides with serious health outcomes, especially for children, includes increased risks of certain types of cancer, neurological problems, endocrine disruption and birth defects. Our children should not be exposed to these toxins in our public parks.

This is an important issue to me and my family, and I urge you to support it. 

Send a letter. 

If you're a letter-writer, send your letter to the City Council President and the Chair of the Health Committee:

Corey Johnson, Speaker
New York City Council
