We created a new campaign to welcome Gov. Sherrill into office and let her know about our programs and advocates! We have several ways that you and your chapter can participate!
You can:
-Email or 'snail mail' a letter
-Post a generic graphic to social media
-Add an image of an individual into our photo template and post it online
-Add an image of a group with your chapter logo on social media.

We have scripts written up for the letters and for social media to make things as easy as possible.

We want to create a working relationship with the new Governor and let her know about all of the amazing work The Arc of NJ, Local Arc Chapters, and the Advocacy groups do in New Jersey!

You will find all of the templates, along with information about the campaign here:
