The mayor of New York City, Eric Adams recently announced that there will be budget cuts around public parks in the city. This may worsen the condition of the parks making them dirtier and unsafe. Of course, Billie Jean King, being an advocate for society as she is, raised her voice against these cuts.

She posted a story on her official Instagram account. In the story, she posted a photo of the parks filled with trash. The caption read, “Say #NoCutsToParks. @nycmayor has slashed the @nycparks budget, and more cuts are coming. Already 1450+ frontline parks maintenance workers have been lost. More cuts mean more trash-filled parks, playgrounds, beaches, and battlefields.”
