Stop the Chop NY/NJ is a grassroots organization dedicated to the elimination of non-essential helicopters from the New York metropolitan area. Non-essential (tourist, charter and commuter) helicopter flights dramatically reduce the quality of life for millions of people in the New York metropolitan area. They pollute our environment, pose significant safety risks, harm our children, and make us miserable.
We need your help to be successful! Follow and like us on Facebook and Twitter @StoptheChopNYNJ, sign and share our petition, and please consider a donation. Stop the Chop NY/NJ is an entirely volunteer effort and your tax-deductible donation helps us with costs associated with outreach, advocacy, education and administrative fees. Help us support the elected officials, community boards, and thousands of New Yorkers who are fed up with helicopter companies running amok in our skies!
