Dear Supporters,

IMPORTANT AND URGENT REQUEST:

Please sign our brand new petition to support the passage of Int 551 (the NYC Council bill that if and when passed would close the two NYC-owned heliports to nonessential helicopters)! We are urging all NYC Council Members to cosponsor this bill (there are already 26 cosponsors) and for Mayor Adams to sign it into law.  

To sign and share widely, click here: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/petition-to-close-nyc-owned-heliports-to-nonessential-flights/

Once you sign this new petition, we ask that you email it to all your friends and neighbors and to post it on your social media accounts!

We were at NYC Council Member Lincoln Restler's press conference at which he announced the introduction of this bill, and we were invited to speak along with other bill cosponsors such as Council Members Gale Brewer, Carolina Rivera, Shahana Hanif, and others. We thank them for their leadership on this issue!

We must continue to grow our grassroots coalition to not only stop this industry from expanding but to ban the nonessential helicopters over our airspace completely. Please help us grow our community-based movement by sharing our information with your neighbors, help us flyer, sign our petitions, follow us on social media, donate, log helicopter complaints, contact your electeds about this important NYC Council bill!   

Thanks for your support!

Best,
Melissa Elstein, STCNY/NJ Board Secretary & Coalition Organizer
