  • 6/7/18 We delivered the 5,000 pages of petition signatures to Governor Cuomo on Thursday, June 7th, at 12 noon.

  • 4/29/18 Thanks to our efforts, there is currently a senate bill AND an assembly bill pending in the New York State Senate to add the Tappan Zee name back to the bridge. It would be a compromise: The Governor Mario M. Cuomo Tappan Zee Bridge. YOU MUST SHOW YOUR SUPPORT! It has a decent chance of passing; it adds the Tappan Zee name back; and it avoids renaming the signs. OUR ELECTED REPS HAVE UNTIL JUNE 20th TO MAKE IT HAPPEN THROUGH A VOTE! Please help us get it passed!

  • 4/24/18 - Our first two protests overlooking 287 were grand successes, with thousands of cars honking in support of our 35 foot x 5 foot sign! More protest events coming soon.
