NJ 11th for Change
​The Power of Us Cocktail Party Fundraiser

7:00–9:00 pm, Monday, February 3, 2020 Richfield Regency, Verona, NJ

Since its inception in 2016, NJ 11th for Change has been ​making real change​ in New Jersey. Now, we are​ looking forward to 2020. ​We remain committed to fostering an engaged and informed community. ​We are determined​ to shape our political representation so that it is transparent, responsive and accountable at all levels of government, from town councils to county freeholders, from the statehouse to the halls of Congress—and, in 2020, the ​White House.

To achieve our goals, ​we need your support​.

Why support NJ 11th for Change?

• In 2017,​ we mobilized people throughout the 11th district, taking to the streets and ultimately forcing our district’s 23-year incumbent congressman ​Rodney Frelinghuysen​ to retire.
• In 2018,​ we tirelessly knocked doors, phone-banked, wrote postcards, sent out Vote-by-Mail forms and vote-chased, making over ​120,000​ points of contact with voters and contributing to the 34% vote swing (the largest in the nation!) that brought Mikie Sherrill ​to office.
• In 2017, 2018, and 2019,​ NJ 11th for Change members ran for office and led campaigns. We joined with like-minded organizations from across our state to create a coalition that has been recognized as a ​powerful grassroots force for CHANGE​.

Our eager town teams are​ ready to turn out the vote ​here in the 11th and in other key districts in NJ. We will provide support ​across the nation​ where our experience, knowledge and passion can help. Carefully targeted calls and postcards? ​Yes!​ Voter registration, voter education, vote by mail and vote chasing? ​Absolutely!​ Tabling at farmers markets, festivals and other local events? ​Wouldn’t miss it.​ And of course, ​so much canvassing​.

We have the experience, the positioning, and (most importantly) the enthusiastic volunteers.

Now we need funding. The more money we raise, the more voters we can reach!

What will your donation get us?

• VAN voter databases so we can use our proven experience to target likely voters withtexts, postcards, and door knocks.
• Mailers, canvassing flyers, and hand-outs.
• Access to text-banking systems with proven voter-turnout success rates.
• Buses to vulnerable NJ districts and to swing states like Pennsylvania.

We have plans for 2020. We need YOU to help us make them reality. Please consider making a donation at the following levels:
