New Jersey Public Education Coalition

The Coalition (NJPEC) is a Grassroots nonpartisan organization designed to preserve diversity and inclusion in our schools while preventing radical right wing injection of radical right wing Dogma and agendas. We have a Statewide network of Municipal Representatives who act as an early warning system for unethical and illegal action by Rogue board members and who helped to create coordinated local groups to provide our members with a voice against the opposition. We also accomplish our goal in coordination with New Jersey legislators as well as the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights, Attorney General's office and Governors Office.

Introverted Advocates for Democracy-Alamance

Introverted Advocates for Democracy Alamance is a dedicated group that embraces the unique strengths of introverts in the pursuit of democratic engagement. Recognizing that advocacy can often be overwhelming, we create a supportive environment where quiet reflection and thoughtful dialogue thrive. Our mission is to explore innovative ways to promote democratic values while honoring our natural tendencies for introspection and listening. Through workshops, small discussion groups, and community initiatives, we empower our members to participate in civic life in a manner that feels authentic and comfortable. We believe that every voice matters, and even the softest tones can create meaningful ripples of change. By fostering connections among like-minded individuals, we cultivate a network that champions respectful discourse and collaborative action. Together, we aim to make a positive impact on our community, ensuring that democracy is defended and celebrated in ways that resonate with our introverted spirits.

Elections Matter Now

This is a non partisan group focused on saving democracy. Republicans, independents and democrats voting for democrats up and down the ballot are welcome here! Bring your ideas and your energy: let's get to work. Together we'll brainstorm opportunities for each one of us, that'll fit our individual Styles! (Phone banks, text bank, door knocking, writing to editors, postcards/letters etc.) 1. 70/80% of Americans have now heard about Project 2025 but let's make sure they really understand how it'll impact their well-being. 2. Do all we can to help get democrats elected in up and down ballot elections. 3. Most Americans know SCOTUS's rulings are based on ideology. Now we need to be sure they know that the next president may be able to select another Justice. 4. Dark money will be pouring into this years election. We need to encourage voters to consider who is paying for the media messages & how they are trying to manipulate our votes. 5. Work with our swing state democratic parties in any way we can to help turn out voters sending a loud, clear message to MAGA extremists that WE ARE NOT GOING BACK, WE ARE MOVING FORWARD.
