New Jersey · Self-Determination
On a fair ballot, nearly half of New Jersey votes to leave the union.
There is no organized movement for this in New Jersey yet. That is exactly what we are here to change.
New Jerseyadults in New Jersey would back independence when the question is asked the way a ballot asks it: calm, binary, and peaceful. That's about 46% of the state.
Even the understated abstract poll counts 1.1 million (16%). How we get this number →

The only question that matters
New Jersey is already a nation in all but name.
If New Jersey were already a self-governing nation, with its own border, its own money, its own defense, everything two hundred other nations control, and the vote in front of you was not whether to leave, but whether to join the United States on the terms it offers today, would you vote yes?
Cast your vote
New Jersey did not wait for permission to declare itself. In 1776 its provincial congress arrested the royal governor, wrote its own constitution in a matter of days, and made the case that a people can govern themselves. That instinct never left. On a fair, plainly worded ballot, asking calmly whether to leave the union, about 46% of New Jersey would vote to go. That is close to half the state. Roughly 3.2 million adults.
The 46% is the honest number, not the low one. A ballot is quiet and binary: you mark a box, in private, and go home. That is not the same as answering a stranger's abstract survey out of nowhere. When you put the question the way a real vote puts it, support runs about 30 points above the poll, which lifts New Jersey to the edge of a majority. New Jersey voted blue in 2020, and none of that matters here. Governing yourself is not a red idea or a blue one. It is the oldest idea the state has.
What is missing in New Jersey is not the numbers. It is each other. There is a room full of people who feel this and have no way to find one another. We bring the playbook, worked out by the largest independence movement in the country, and we bring the connections. We do not run your group. We do not touch your money. You decide what New Jersey's movement looks like, and you build it.
