WHO WE ARE

​​

Jersey City Together is a broad-based, non-partisan organization of religious congregations, non-profits, parent organizations, and tenant groups working together to address issues in our city. We work on issues important to our members and our communities -- in particular issues related to housing affordability, education, public safety, and criminal justice.

​

We do not endorse candidates for office, but focus on listening to and training parents and other stakeholders from all backgrounds to work together around the issues they care about.​

​

For us, this work is incredibly important -- regardless of who wins elections. Don't just download the election questionnaire. Sign up to stay in touch & learn more. And - if you're interested - become a part of our team!
