Ridgewood friends,
If it weren’t for the guidance and extensive knowledge of Renee Steinhagen, Executive Director of NJ Appleseed, we would be dealing with a massive parking garage, encroaching halfway into Hudson Street, being funded, built and run by the BCIA. Renee and her staff gave us the tools we needed to defeat the massive garage proposals. They have extensive knowledge of referendum petitioning, and were incredibly supportive.
When asked to send to send a bill, Renee said she will not, but rather requested our group contribute to NJ Appleseed, so that they can continue their mission:
“New Jersey Appleseed Public Interest Law Center is a non-partisan, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. For over 10 years, we’ve striven to correct systemic problems that are at the root of injustice in our state.”

This is a very helpful site. I donated and am looking forward to their guidance on a referendum regarding arbitrary street closures and sidewalks in the area near the Ridge School. Thanks so much!
Good luck to you pesmith. It takes a tremendous amount of time, energy, money, and emotion to act on a cause you find meaningful, and if this is that issue for you I look forward to meeting you canvasing downtown or perhaps when you go knocking door to door.
Thanks 10:04… It’ll be me and a few others working on this.
