"We have reached our goal well ahead of our anticipated projections and will look to maintain this momentum and add an additional 10,000 voices," said Kelly Nimmo-Guenther, President of Pledge 2 Protect.

Among the groups in Pledgee 2 Protect are Asphalt Green, the East 79th Street Neighborhood Coalition, East 93rd Block Association, Parent Leaders of Upper East Side Schools, The Carl Schurz Park Conservancy, and Residents for Sane Trash Solutions, Inc.
