Mission
NJ 11TH FOR CHANGE IS A 501(C)(4) UNAFFILIATED ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO ADVOCATING FOR ALL PEOPLE OF NEW JERSEY'S 11TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. WE FOSTER AN ENGAGED AND INFORMED COMMUNITY WITH THE POWER TO SHAPE OUR POLITICAL REPRESENTATION SO THAT IT IS TRANSPARENT, RESPONSIVE AND ACCOUNTABLE - AND SO THAT IT REFLECTS THE VALUES OF FAIRNESS, COMPASSION, INCLUSIVITY AND A DECENT QUALITY OF LIFE. WE INFORM: IT WAS THOMAS JEFFERSON WHO SAID: "WHENEVER THE PEOPLE ARE WELL-INFORMED, THEY CAN BE TRUSTED WITH THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT." AT NJ 11TH FOR CHANGE, WE TRUST THAT AN INFORMED COMMUNITY IS A STRONG COMMUNITY. OUR MISSION IS TO HELP COMMUNITIES TO UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES, TO KNOW WHAT QUESTIONS TO ASK, AND TO UNDERSTAND THE NEWS AROUND THEM EVERY DAY. IT HAS BEEN EXTRAORDINARILY HEARTENING TO WITNESS OUR COMMUNITY'S HUNGER FOR KNOWLEDGE EXPLODE, AND WE ARE ON THE FRONT LINES FEEDING IT. WE ENGAGE: WE ARE AN ACTIVE CONSTITUENCY THAT SEEKS TO ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION IN THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS.
