It’s time to do away with harmful and polluting helicopter sightseeing tours.

The Issue

With more than 300 flights per day running 365 days a year, New York residents, from Brooklyn to Manhattan and New Jersey residents up and down the Hudson river from the Statue of Liberty to the George Washington bridge, are being threatened by the endless tide of sightseeing flights

These nonessential flights pollute our environment, posing serious threats to the safety, health, and quality of life of the densely packed communities underneath their flight path.

The excessive noise causes developmental disabilities in children, impairing their cognitive and learning abilities. It also impacts our veterans, exacerbating PTSD.

Sign this petition now to let our elected officials know that our health and safety is not for sale.
