The New Jersey Civics Handbook for Teens
In 2023, we wrote, printed and mailed the New Jersey Civics Handbook to 17 year olds who qualified to vote for their first election in the 2023 November Election.
Donations allowed us to mail to these teens who live in the bottom 291 most vulnerable zip codes in NJ, a ranking that factors in 20 metrics including income level, race, ethnicity and educational attainment.

Our elections need work!
Election infrastructure has long been neglected in New Jersey — and in our nation. Our work has resulted in major changes for New Jersey voters, especially lowering the ballot rejection rates and reducing voter disenfranchisement.
