This is an ideal opportunity for you to make a real difference and to support our critical voter education efforts. With a laptop or similar device and some computer skills, this job can be done at home on your own time.

Passing a Green Amendment is a priority advocacy issue of LWVNJ. In September, LWVCC formed an action team to advocate for this amendment, focusing our efforts in Camden and Gloucester Counties.

The team’s current focus is to get out in the community to build strong support that we can demonstrate to legislators to lobby for getting action on these bills.

Please contact Joan Divor to learn more.
