The Broken Promise of the American Public Pool

“Linking to a story about the decline of the public pool because I want to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining our public places!

“NYC public pools offer kids free breakfast and lunch in the summer: https://growingupnyc.cityofnewyork.us/programs/summer-meals/”

“My kids look forward to public pool season all year long 💦”

“Find me at Club Banneker all summer. Shoutout to DPR and Marcus the best pool manager around 🏊🏻‍♀️”
