Dear NJPIRG member,
Summer will be just around the bend by the time you get this letter. You’re probably making sure that you have your plans for travel lined up. For us here at NJPIRG, we’re making sure we have enough clipboards.
The summer represents a huge opportunity for our campaign and fundraising efforts—hundreds of college students and others will spend their summer canvassing for NJPIRG.
I started out as a canvasser (I won’t tell you how many years ago that was...) and I still find canvassing such an affirming experience. One person, talking to another person, and another person, and another person, until we have the support we need to win victories like the important drug safey bill we passed last year, the passage of a strong toxic-free toys bill (see page 1) and many others I expect we’ll see later in the year.
We frankly couldn’t do this important work if people like you didn’t take the time to listen to the canvasser and get out your credit card or checkbook.
Thanks again for your support, and the support I hope you’ll renew this summer to keep us standing up to powerful interests.
Sincerely,
Allison Cairo, Executive Director
