2017 Events and Achievements

Looking to elicit democratic support in upcoming statewide and national elections, BID’s early efforts included the following:

​

  • On December 4th,  Bergen Indivisible for Democracy (BID) volunteers met in Tenafly and wrote 800 personalized postcards to registered Alabama voters asking them to vote in the upcoming election.This BID event was part of an ambitious national volunteer effort, "Postcards to Voters," that drew an amazing turnout.
     

  • Energized and eager to kick off the 2018 electoral season, BID organized an event with local candidates running for the New Jersey state legislature and school boards and councils, which was attended by representatives of fellow grassroots groups, such as WEDO of Bergen County. BID volunteers also organized phone banks and made over 600 calls in just a few hours to inform voters about the upcoming election.
     

  • Phil Murphy became the new Governor of NJ. Assembly members Valerie Huttle and Gordon Johnson and State Senator Loretta Weinberg of LD 37 were successfully re-elected and Lauren Dayton and Jeff Grossman, both first time candidates, won spots on the Tenafly Town Council.
