In light of recent events where President Donald Trump has controversially renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” it is clear that geographic names have become tools for political agendas. To counteract this, we propose restoring historical integrity by changing the name of New York back to its original name, New Amsterdam.

Before it was New York, this great city was known as New Amsterdam, a name rich with historical and cultural significance tied to its Dutch origins. Restoring this name would honor the city’s heritage, remind us of our diverse roots, and push back against unnecessary and politically motivated name changes.

Join us in advocating for a meaningful return to history and balance. Let’s remind everyone that names matter, history matters, and we must respect our origins. Sign this petition to restore New York as New Amsterdam and preserve our collective heritage!
