WELCOME TO OUR NEW NON-PROFIT
Stop the Chop NY/NJ now has more political muscle 💪🏻
ABOUT US
We’re excited to announce the creation of Stop the Chop NY/NJ Advocacy Fund, a new advocacy organization affiliated with Stop the Chop NY/NJ.
Private helicopter operators have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars lobbying lawmakers in support of policies that enrich themselves at the expense of our health and well-being. Now, for the first time, we, too, will have a voice in the legislative arena.
Like our sister organization, Stop the Chop Advocacy NY/NJ Fund’s mission is to ban or dramatically reduce nonessential helicopters over the New York and New Jersey region.
What’s different is that STC Advocacy Fund is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization that can engage in government relations to influence the passage of legislation in a way that our existing organization is not legally allowed to do.
Changing the law is the only way the current situation will improve.
OUR GOALS
Pass the Essential Bills
We are seeking the passage of bills at all levels of government to ban (or substantially reduce) nonessential helicopter traffic over the NY/NJ metropolitan area.
Support Lawmakers Aligned with our Mission
We will support political candidates and elected officials who share our concerns and are committed to positive change that benefits communities on the ground.
WHY?
Helicopter noise is excessively loud, physically harmful, and damaging to our quality of life.
Fossil fuel-based helicopters pollute our air and contribute to climate change.
Heavy helicopter traffic over densely populated regions like ours is a known safety risk.
