We had a powerful No New Jets, No New Fights campaign Kickoff! If you were able to join us in person or in spirit, thank you.
Approximately 700 people at 4 different events around the Sound came out in Coupeville, Port Townsend, Lopez island, and Anacortes to send a message loud and clear – We hear you. Do you hear us. No New Jets No New Flights. Over 700 postcards were sent to our elected officials.
The Department of Defense released their Final EIS on Sept. 28th proposing huge increases: 36 more jets, increased operations at Ault Field, four times more flights at Outlying field in Coupeville (from 6100 to 24,000) and increased geographic noise and pollution over regions of the Pacific Northwest that have not been previously impacted.
