People sometimes ask us what NJI is. Is it an
organization or a coalition? We tell them that it is both. It's an organization
in so far as it and its sister organization, the North Jersey Independent
Alliance , function as organizations -- with by-laws, procedures, officers
and organizational activities. Yet it is a coalition too! Amendment
Fourteen of our bylaws establishes a mechanism by which other organizations
may associate themselves and their members with us. Our membership also reflects
a wide diversity of tendencies and views: we include amongst our ranks independent-progressives,
socialists of various stripe, labor people, greens, anarchists (a lot of our
activities transcend the electoral arena) and even the occasional liberal.
-
Hopefully, in the years to come,
the vital resource which we have become, will be used by more of our friends
and neighbors in their daily struggle against the capitalist and corporate
class and their handmaiden, the state. - from the Independent Voice , Spring
1998
Come join us and make a difference.
