Thursday April 16th is SPECIAL ELECTION DAY IN NJ 11! 

Change is Coming. Your Vote Matters Now.

The Special General Election for New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District is almost here. This election will fill the vacancy left when Representative Mikie Sherrill was elected Governor. The time to act is now. Make sure your voting plan is in place for THURSDAY, April 16, 2026.

The past week has been a LOT, we know: the kind of week that makes it hard to decide between raging out and hiding in bed.

But it’s Early Voting and GOTV time, too. And our best way to fight back is to send Analilia Mejia to Congress in the CD 11 special election on THURSDAY, APRIL 16TH!!

10 Days until the NJ11 Special General Election. TEN DAYS.

EARLY VOTING STARTS TODAY.

We love Early Voting. We love Vote by Mail. We love Early Voting so much that we’ve decided to rebrand ourselves as Early Voting Evangelists. Who wants in? Should we make business cards???

Generally, we don’t like to send more than one email in a week but there’s so much going on!

We’ll get right to it. This week and next, there’s a few events coming up where we hope we’ll see you! 

First up is TODAY.  Have you heard that ICE is opening up office space here in the heart of NJ 11th in Roseland? Yup. They are looking to rent space for 40 ICE lawyers right next to multiple daycare centers and other businesses that focus on vulnerable populations. This is not a safe place for ICE to operate. Join other folks tonight to discuss what we know and how we peacefully resist. If you can’t make it tonight but want information, drop a note to [email protected]. 

Did you hear the news (cause we can’t stop talking about it)? 

We said we were having a fundraiser and our membership showed up. We met our fundraising goals in a matter of days so now we just want to have a party. And we want you to come!

Next Tuesday, March 24th, 7-9pm. You know the drill: if you want the address you gotta RSVP.  

The NJ 11th for Change fundraiser on Tuesday, March 24 is coming up fast and we cannot wait to see you!

Were we sure our membership would hear the call and step right up to support our work? Of course! Did we know that because of you we would already have met our fundraising goals? Y’all are the best. Seriously. 

So you know what? Now we want to party with you! We’ve added a new lower ticket level that just covers the cost of the party. Grab one now! 

Please join NJ 11th for Change on Tuesday, March 24th for our Change is Happening Fundraiser! 

2026 is shaping up to be a year of enormous change. We all feel it. We all see it. We all know it. Here at NJ 11th for Change, we know a little something about change. Change takes work and it takes money. 

With your help we can continue to educate voters, support our candidates in NJ 11 and beyond, plan huge No Kings rallies, and advocate for all the citizens of NJ’s 11th district. 

Meeting The Moment

This is shaping up to be a year of dynamic, enormous change. We all feel it. See it. Know it.

Change Is Happening!

And we are all at the center of it. Which means NJ 11th for Change needs some help. You know we only ask for money if we really need it. Well, we REALLY need it.

Yes, so much is going on, and so much of it keeps us constantly on edge. Yet while it’s incredibly easy to despair, it’s only practical to hope, as the great oral historian Studs Terkel once observed.

It has been six years since our last fundraiser. We know we have the people power. This community shows up and does the work, which shows no signs of stopping. Here is what the calendar’s looking like so far:

Change is happening! 

Join NJ 11th for Change  this Saturday, February 28th, 2026 at 10:00 am for our  membership meeting! 

Change Is Happening. And it's time to talk.

Join NJ 11th for Change for an in-person membership meeting on  Saturday, February 28th, 2026 at 10am. There will be coffee, light breakfast, and a lot to discuss! 

Change Is Happening. We all feel it. Honestly, we are having deja vu. It’s been nine years since we started working to bring CHANGE here in the 11th. 

Remember this guy? Bet he’s never forgotten us.

Congratulations to Analilia Mejia, who we can now declare is the winner of the CD 11 Special Primary election. 

One week until the Special Primary on Thursday, Feb. 5. Here to say a couple of things:

Y'all who love to vote in person? Take a look at this weather forecast. See what’s up on Primary Day? Early in-person voting is now open, PLEASE consider not waiting. And tell your friends! All the Early Voting locations and hours are in our Voter Guide.
