Dear Supporters —

Over the past 4 years, NJ 11th for Change has launched dozens of political careers. We’re not just talking about Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill, either, for whom we cleared a path by scaring off Rodney Frelinghuysen. We’re talking about our own grassroots members! 

SCORES of you have run for office after becoming politically engaged with us, and we couldn’t be prouder. Our members now run for every office in New Jersey: from municipal party committee member to town council representative, mayor to county commissioner (formerly ‘freeholder’), New Jersey State Senator to General Assembly member.

This year, we’ve got a bumper crop of candidates, especially on a municipal level! Please join us on Monday, June 7 (the night before the primary election) at 7:00 pm for a très relaxé Defending Democracy open house (on Zoom, natch) to meet some of our favorite mayoral and town council candidates! 

SPACE IS LIMITED! Register here, and we'll send you the Zoom link!

Among our guests will be:

• Cori Herbig
• Judy Hernandez
• Christy Lazarow
• Michael Soriano
• Kate Barry
• Mark Gyorfy
• Tara Olivio-Moore
• Kim Mazzie  

... and more!

Who's that masked man? That's Parsippany mayor Michael Soriano,
with his running mates Judy Hernandez and Cori Herbig!

These wonderful people share our values and have long been our allies. We’re just crazy about them! Come hear what they all have to say about this year's race, what they plan to do in office, and why it’s SO DAMNED IMPORTANT to vote your ballot all the way down the ticket, not just the topline races.

That's not all, folks!

NJ 11th for Change is getting ready to fill up your calendar in other ways, too — and soon! Here are some highlights:

Missed our panel discussion with reps from each CD 11 county (Essex, Morris, Passaic, and Sussex) discussion election rules for 2021?

Never fear!

Dear Supporters,

Pandemic election rules in 2020 included lots of (sometimes confusing) innovations: universal mail-in ballots! brand-new secure drop boxes! in-person polling place closures!

But now it's 2021 and vaccination rates are increasing at a steady clip ...

... so this year's elections will be back to normal ... right?

Not necessarily!

Did you miss last night's STELLAR panel discussion?

Do you want to share it with friends, family, and neighbors?

Did you enjoy it so much you just have to watch it again (and take notes this time)?

Here it is, on YouTube!

Start at 3:40 to avoid some less-than-entertaining Zoom set-up!

The perpetrators of white supremacy in America have woven a self-serving narrative about Black people for centuries. They have woven that narrative in ways subtle and blatant, one interaction and accusation at a time.

How many times have you seen neighbors riling themselves up, grabbing pitchforks and torches to storm the council meeting at Town Hall … only to find out later that the town council had nothing to do with the issue they were all so enraged about?

After 2020 and our hard-won, excruciatingly slo-mo victory over Donald Trump, it’s hard to imagine ANY election ever feeling “high stakes” by comparison. 

I mean, we averted the end of the world, right?

They say it takes money to make money, but around here, we know: 

It takes money to MAKE CHANGE. 

We need your help. 

There’s important work to do in 2021 — and to set up the action infrastructure to accomplish that, NJ 11th for Change needs to raise $10,000! 

Sure, we’ll take cash … if you happen to have one of these floating around.
But checks and credit cards are easier! Donate with a monthly recurring gift or a one-time gift.

2021 is going to be a busy year. 

The GOP knows we’ve made serious headway, even in some of their reddest strongholds, and they’re gunning for us. No seats will be safe — including Mikie’s in 2022 — if we let them start clawing their way back into power on a municipal, county, and state level. That means we can’t snooze.

A sleep-in? Sure. But no snoozing.

Here are our top 5 priorities:

and how you can make them work for YOU and YOUR values!

Greetings, everyone!

It’s finally starting to feel real, isn’t it? "The previous guy" is starting to fade into the background! At last, we can focus on making good things happen. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are getting down to business, and so are we! 

“America is back,” said Biden during his speech
at the Munich Security Conference on Friday.

What kind of business, you ask? 

On a national level, Congress is pressing forward with its flagship piece of legislation — the For the People Act (H.R. 1 in the House, and S. 1 in the Senate). It's an omnibus bill that protects the heart of our democracy: voting rights, election security, redistricting reform, campaign financing, and ethics. Last Thursday, we learned all about it at our virtual letter-writing party—with special guest Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill! 

No puppy this time.
But lots of substantial conversation!

COME JOIN OUR Feb. 16
LETTER/POSTCARD-WRITING
PARTY WITH MIKIE SHERRILL!
(Register here; see below for details!)

Hello, Supporters!

ALL THAT WORK YOU DID to help Joe Biden and Kamala Harris win the White House?

ALL THAT WORK YOU DID supporting Mikie Sherrill here in New Jersey and Ossoff and Warnock in Georgia, so we could win the House and the Senate?

We did what we set out to do, and we earned the right to celebrate!!

But the work isn’t done. Now we've got to protect those victories!

Our wins are fragile. Our margins in the legislative branch are slim at best and (as today’s travesty of an impeachment vote proves) completely inadequate at worst.

And you can bet your sweet bippy that the GOP is laying the groundwork RIGHT NOW to take back the Senate and House in 2022.

Grrrrrrr.....
