RevolutionNJ Community Involvement

The 250th Anniversary of the United States is coming in 2026! This once-in-a-generation opportunity allows New Jerseyans across the state to create a lasting legacy. We are asking counties and municipalities to join us in commemorating the 250th by facilitating new partnerships, programs, and events that will engage local businesses, non-profits, artists, scholars, schools, universities, and colleges, libraries, civic organizations, historic sites, community members, and visitors from all over.

Pass a resolution to become an official RevolutionNJ Community (see below for a draft resolution)! Once passed, let us know by filling out the following form https://bit.ly/revnjcommunity so we can feature you on our growing list of RevolutionNJ Communities. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at info@revnj.org.
