Empower Our Neighborhoods
Empower Our Neighborhoods is a community organization in New Brunswick, NJ. We were formed in 2007 in response to growing concern over how the city that we love is being run. Behind the failing schools, government corruption, outlandish parking regulations, etc. we find one common problem. That problem is a lack of democracy. Therefore, we decided to form our organization to increase democracy throughout the city.
As neighbors, friends, students, workers we decided that our first goal is to pass a popular referendum instituting a ward system of local government. Wards increase democracy and efficiency as well as promote minority involvement in government. Having a ward system in New Brunswick is the first step to achieving real democracy and the change that we all want to see.
Please browse through the website to get more information on our campaign and how you can become involved. To the left is a calendar of events that includes all of our weekly meetings and other community events.
