A lot was done to get the landslide win for New Jersey Governor race. One that really has not been mentioned enough is the grassroots organizing that has been going on everyday since Nov. 2024.
We wiped the tears from our faces and kept on going, adding more people as we kept going.

Every vote will count in New Jersey’s governor race this fall.

In 2021, deeply blue Hudson County helped deliver a narrow win - even with the lowest turnout in the state.

Imagine our power if we actually showed up.

So proud of all the work @knittygrittyjc.bsky.social has been doing. Yesterday, we stood with hundreds of our neighbors in Jersey City as part of our #NoKings rally.
