About SaveNYC
Our Mission
As New York City faces its worst crisis in decade, a bipartisan group of civic minded business people, public policy experts, and community leaders have announced saveNYC. This is an educational non-profit formed to alert the public to the challenges currently facing New York City (all five bouroughs) and the potential problems that may be created by the November election.
Our Message
Decline – the flight of businesses, the exodus of hundreds of thousands of residents, the fiscal mess, the chaos, the shoplifting, the surge in quality of life crimes, and the impact of shelters on surrounding neighborhoods – all these problems can be solved, or made worse this November.
Unfortunately, the recent difficulties facing the Mayor have created a vacuum. Politicians are worried about what job they’ll get next. But the real issues are how to keep jobs in New York and stop the exodus of stores, financial institutions, and other businesses.
The issue is who the next mayor will be, and can New York survive and thrive with them as mayor?
If You Want to be Heard, Take Action
New York City is in trouble – all five boroughs. We are New Yorkers who want to find solutions. Our safety and security are at stake. Our families’ futures depend on our actions today. saveNYC is a non-partisan, non-profit organization. We want the quality of life every New Yorker deserves and living in this great city can deliver; if we deliver.
Be Part of the Solution
Many have told us they want to be part of the solution – but they don’t know where to start. Join us if you are concerned about the challenges facing the City, such as crime, threatened service outs, rats and trash, declining education standards, uncontrolled migrant surge and anti-semitism. Problems that potentially will only get worse in November. Separately, we have a voice – but together we have power. The power to force city officials to respond to our proposals and to help stop those who would make it worse.
Choose Your Issues & Contact Us To Get Involved
Crime and Anti-Semitism
New Yorkers no longer feel safe, and the Jewish community is under attack.
Budget Deficit / Taxes
City funded spending is up 18.3% since Mayor de Blasio’s final year. Despite NYC’s exodus of businesses. That spells trouble. And with all that spending, the NYPD’s headcount is at an historic low.
Businesses Closing
New York needs to do better at attracting and retaining business. Businesses employ people and contribute tax revenue.
Schools
NYC is expected to spend a staggering $39,300 per pupil this school year. But only 59% of elementary students are proficient in reading and only 48% in math. We must do better. We need safe and effective schools.
Maintaining City Services
City services are essential to our communities. Quality of life is directly impacted by cuts in City services. To avoid cuts, NYC must address the cost of sheltering migrants, and tightly manage other spending.
Cost of Illegal Immigration
The city’s policies have made NYC the number one destination for migrants. Over 200,000 have come to NYC since 2022, and over 65,000 are currently sheltered by city taxpayers.
