Join The Arc of New Jersey's Families Network!

If you want to get involved but have limited time, this is the option for you! The Families Network is an online information and action center, providing members with regular updates and Action Alerts on public policy issues facing our families.  This program option requires minimal commitment and you don't even have to leave your home to participate! What makes this program different from other action-oriented list-servs you are already a part of?  No guesswork! No intimidation factor! No long policy papers to review before you make a phone call! Our goal is to give you all the information you need in a concise and clear way, and to make public policy advocacy as simple and easy as possible!
