Our beloved Jody Stewart is retiring!
From Jody herself: “Can you believe I started as an organizing fellow at NJOP in 2016? I used to work in a marina selling bait and tackle plus clean houses. Great jobs but I wanted more, I needed more so I became a member leader with NJOP and shortly later quit my job to become a fellow. It was the fellowship program that gave me the vision to fight for solutions for our communities and organize my career. This fund will allow NJOP to hire more fellows like Katie who is in the Not One More campaign and Julia in the Hurricane Ida campaign.”
New Jersey Organizing Project is creating a fund for future community organizers – the “Jody Stewart Leadership Development Fund”. Our goal is to raise $10,000 by December 16th.
Together we have built a powerful organization and fought for the issues that matter to our communities, from storm recovery and rising seas to ending the overdose crisis.
We’re asking you to invest in us so we can continue fighting for real solutions for our communities.
You may have noticed we said “invest in us” – not donate, not support. We do this work as a part of our own community, and it’s important that NJOP members get to own a piece of that work. This also means we’re not accountable to big foundations or corporate donors – we’re accountable to people.
We want to go into 2027 with the resources we need to win lasting change for our communities. Together we can create the future we need and deserve.
