DONATE
Save the Meadows is an all-volunteer, grassroots campaign to save the natural areas at FDR Park from privatization and development.
We are neighborhood residents and others determined to stop the City of Philadelphia and the Fairmount Park Conservancy from destroying the only woodlands, meadows, and wetlands in South Philly to install 1.3 million square feet of toxic plastic grass and asphalt.
Legal Fund
You’ve likely heard about the lawsuit filed in March 2024 by South Philly residents against the City of Philadelphia and the Fairmount Park Conservancy.
The City dragged the plaintiffs through a year of appeals, depleting our funds, but the plaintiffs won and the case is finally heading for trial. Costs could be as high as $15,000 for this stage, if not more. Time is short, and the need is great!
Save The Meadows has committed to providing financial support for the lawsuit and for efforts to oppose permits required by the project. Well over a hundred neighbors from near and far have contributed to this effort. We hope that you’ll join them.
Meadows Fund
Since we began in 2021, Save the Meadows has been entirely powered by volunteers, who paid expenses out of their own pockets. Now we are asking for your support so that we can keep going.
Although our expenses are minimal, some funds are needed to cover our monthly operations, including our website, online tools, printing costs, community outreach and events, etc. Consider making a recurring monthly donation.
Our work is entirely powered by people, and it’s people like you that help this movement become more than just a group of individuals. We appreciate you, and we are stronger together. Thank you.
Also, consider reaching out to us via email or Instagram and asking how else you can help out! Our needs are constantly in flux, but there’s a place for everyone in this campaign!
Solidarity and meadows forever ✊
