Dear STCNYNJ supporters,
Keep up the public pressure with your emails to electeds, tweets and other social media posts, and logging of complaints about helicopter traffic to 311 and the FAA - it’s working!
This week, in addition to the lengthy NY Times article on October 21 - https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/21/nyregion/nyc-helicopter-noise-complaints.html - a one hour Soundproofist podcast interview with several Stop the Chop NY/NJ Board members was just released. We highly recommend a listen as this podcast discusses all the relevant issues regarding NYC area helicopter problems:
Additionally, WCBS News Radio interviewed our co-founding Board member (and former NYC Parks Commissioner) Adrian Benepe about the helicopter problems over Brooklyn and our urban parks: https://www.audacy.com/wcbs880/news/local/complaints-about-helicopter-noise-skyrocket-in-nyc
Please help us spread awareness about the environmental, health, and safety issues related to the “Wild West” of helicopters flying over our NYC metropolitan area by sharing this petition and our website: www.stopthechopnynj.org
You can volunteer with us - at the moment, we are an all-volunteer grassroots nonprofit, and we are fully funded by charitable donations. The more we grow our movement, the more likely we will win the battle against these noisy, polluting and unsafe tourist and commuter helicopters.
Thanks!
Melissa Elstein, Board Member & Coalition Organizer
