SAVE THE MERMAID PARADE IN CONEY ISLAND
HELP SAVE THE CONEY ISLAND MERMAID PARADE. IT IS OUR PLATFORM FOR EQUALITY AND FAMILY FRIENDLINESS.
Why is this important?
I am 8 y/o. My mother is helping me fill this out. I was born and now live in Brooklyn. I love to swim and I love mermaids. After my mother and I did some research to find a Brooklyn based mermaid extravaganza for me to see, she mentioned the CONEY ISLAND MERMAID PARADE, but she and my father thought the parade would be too "outlandish" for me and not "family friendly."
However, I would like to reach out to representatives of the State and City of New York for support in SAVING THE MERMAID PARADE.
Let's find a way to not only make this parade "family friendly," but come to a compromise to find a way to SAVE THE CONEY ISLAND MERMAID PARADE forever, so that I am able to see it for many days to come.
This parade showcases over 1,500 creative individuals from all over the five boroughs. Although it is free, it is also expensive to run. This annual event, that has taken place since 1983, has crowds upwards of 750,000 people. Unfortunately, it has also been threatened by Hurricane Sandy, and need your help.
There is a deadline. However, if we are unable to SAVE THE CONEY ISLAND MERMAID PARADE this year, there is always next year, and many more years to come.
Thank you.
