Why give
The next phase of this effort costs money: aviation and acoustics experts to put technical evidence in the FAA’s record, counsel to prepare for the final rule and any court review, and outreach to the thousands of affected residents who may not yet know about the docket.
The size of the gift matters less than the number of people giving. When an agency, a court, or an elected official looks at who stands behind an organization, hundreds of small contributions from residents say something that one large check cannot.
Where the money goes
- Expert analysis: independent aviation and noise studies to test the FAA’s claims with data.
- Legal work: preserving objections in the record and preparing for review of the final rule.
- Community outreach: reaching every affected household before the October 2 deadline and beyond.
- Operations: the basic costs of running a volunteer organization properly.
