Essentials first. We support our schools and our library, and the police, fire department, and EMTs who keep Ringwood safe. Our tax dollars should go to these essential services first, not be cut from them to pay for things we can’t afford. We fought against an $800k overtime payout, lifetime health benefits, and a poorly planned $5 million turf field, and we’re pushing the town to finally move forward on the long overdue Fieldstone Plaza redevelopment.

From cleaning up Skylands Road on Caring for Ringwood Day to fixing up local homes with Rebuilding Together, we show up for our neighbors. We’ve delivered supplies to first responders and supported people affected by fires or without stable housing. We’ve also donated Thanksgiving baskets to the Center for Food Action and held food drives. Need food assistance? Contact the Center for Food Action.

Each spring we host a free Easter Egg Hunt for local kids, and each fall we join Ringwood Recreation’s Trunk or Treat to help make Halloween fun for the whole town. Each June we award the Vivian Milligan Scholarship to a Lakeland senior, in memory of the beloved Ramapough leader who fought Ford to clean up the Ringwood Superfund site.

Our volunteers have sent thousands of handwritten postcards and made calls to voters in swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia. We believe all politics is local. We believe in protecting our environment and clean water, supporting strong public schools and essential services, and making sure everyone has a fair shot. That’s why we work on the ground in our own town and for voters well beyond it.
