ActionTogetherNJ has created resources and tools to help support the efforts of existing groups and to provide a cohesive work place for the state.

ATNJ is the LARGEST grassroots group in NJ, with a chapter in every county, and is growing every day as NJ citizens join to fight for our values. We invite you to join us and to be at the forefront of that change. ATNJ is part of the grassroots national network, Action Together Network (ATN), which numbers around 750,000 grassroots members nationwide. We are your neighbors, your friends, and your coworkers. The Executive Director is @WinnKhuong.

MISSION: To come together as a state to act in concert to be more effective on state legislation and elections which impact our daily lives.

Only 120 people in the state make all the laws that affect us all. We coordinate and share these actions and legislation with groups such as regional progressive groups, congressional district –focused groups, local Indivisible groups, and hyper-local town groups.

*We fight for civil liberties, social justice, and environmental protection.

*We advocate for equality and human rights for all people.

*We protect those who face discrimination, disenfranchisement, and persecution.

*We fight for legislation that helps the working class, and supports equal pay and a living wage for all workers.

*We support and collaborate with existing advocacy groups who share our beliefs.

*We will fight to elect progressive leaders who share our values.

*And we will fight against elected officials who don’t.

To accomplish these goals, we look for ways to organize and take action, through working with (or against) our representatives, organizing rallies and boycotts, sponsoring social justice projects, and collaborating with other advocacy groups we believe in to help bring about the change we want to see.
