At Upstate Independence, our mission is clear: to create a new and independent state for Upstate New York. We firmly believe that the existing structure of New York State no longer serves the best interests of Upstate citizens, and we are dedicated to pursuing the path of independence as a solution.
As a non-profit organization, we serve as a vital information hub for politically conscious Upstaters and act as a connecting force for forward-thinking individuals across our region who share the vision of creating a brighter future. While we shed light on the unsustainable corruption and incompetence within the New York State government, our focus extends beyond criticism. We strive to develop and actualize a new political vision specifically tailored to Upstate, while actively identifying and connecting people who are committed to turning this vision into reality.
Fundamentally, we are a community of individuals who deeply love Upstate and are no longer content with the outdated status quo imposed by New York State. We recognize the untapped potential of our region and endeavor to establish a political system that can unlock this potential. Upstate is our home and it is worth fighting for.
Join us as we forge a new path toward independence, empowerment, and a future where Upstate thrives on its own terms. Together, we can shape the destiny of our beloved region and create a brighter tomorrow.
