Mission Statement
Down Jersey Coalition is a nonpartisan group composed primarily of residents of New Jersey's 2nd Congressional District. DJC was created by citizens concerned about the crisis our country is experiencing under the current administration.
We are committed to using our voices, individually and collectively, to resist the destruction of government programs and the values our country was built upon in a positive and constructive manner.
Membership is open to NJ 2nd Congressional District residents and others who share our core concerns.

1. New Jersey residents that are not registered to vote need to register by Tuesday, May 12 in order to vote in the Primary. This year’s Primary takes place on June 2.
2. If you are a registered voter, vote by mail, and do not use a drop box, make sure you mail your ballot BEFORE MEMORIAL DAY. Due to changes instituted by the USPS, it may take up to a week for mail to be postmarked, Memorial Day may make it take even longer. Ballots not postmarked by June 2 will not be counted.
3. If you are registered and vote in person, it might be a good idea to take 30 seconds to to make sure your voter registration is still active. Click this link, fill in your name and address and instantly find out if your registration is active:
4. If you vote by mail, you click this link a week or more after mailing it or dropping it in a drop box to make sure your ballot has been received:

> If you do not already have a My Voter Record account, you will need to set up an account.
5. Bridge Brigade!
In the summer, DJC is in a position to reach thousands of travelers as they head “down the shore” each weekend. We are hoping to hold our first Bridge Brigade on either the Sherman Ave or Main Rd Rt 55 overpass on Friday, May 22 from 5:30 - 6:30 to reach drivers heading to the shore for Memorial Day weekend. Maybe, just maybe, If all goes well, we may be out there again sometime Monday afternoon as they head home.
This will not work without your help. We do not need a large number of people, ten would be an ideal number but we might be able to manage with 6. We will have reflective vests available for sign holders to wear.
At this time, we do not have enough volunteers to be sign holders. It is just one hour, from 5:30-6:30 on Friday, May 22. If you can help, email us immediately. downjerseycoalition@gmail.com
If we can get 4-5 more volunteers in the next few days to hold signs, we will begin creating the letter posters. It isn’t too late to sign up to help us create them - just email DownJerseyCoaltion@Gmail.com asap. Materials will be provided! Once you get the materials and instructions, you will be able to make them at home.
Our first message, on this Memorial Day weekend will be a tribute to the men and women who lost their lives in service to our nation:
Honor Them - Defend Democracy.
6. A Reminder! Logo entries are due by May 17
