Coalition for Structural Change in Democracy in New Jersey

Building a New Era of Democracy in
New Jersey Politics

We are living through what could be New Jersey’s most significant election reform era in modern history. The combination of the anti-Trump progressive movement, the resurgence of civil rights as a national priority, a general acceptance that democracy is in trouble and requires ongoing vigilance, and newfound voter awareness of New Jersey’s unique set of anti-democratic traditions and rules all create a once-in-a-generation opportunity for change. 

​

But reform won’t happen by itself. 

​

The We The People coalition is dedicated to the hard work required to make structural change. We aim to improve citizens’ access to power, through increased voting access, but also removing the barriers to meaningful civic engagement. We will use a variety of tactics, from litigation to legislation, from community organizing to capacity building. This coalition is the hub for the power building and long term structural change that will restore real democracy to the people of NJ. ​​
