Advocacy Tools and ActionButton

NJCAPE may use ActionButton, a third-party advocacy platform, to enable visitors to sign petitions, contact lawmakers, submit messages, or take other civic and advocacy actions.

When you use an ActionButton feature, information you provide may be processed by ActionButton and made available to NJCAPE. Depending on the type of action, your information and message may also be transmitted to elected officials, government representatives, agencies, public officials, or other intended advocacy recipients.
ActionButton may use cookies and similar technologies in connection with its embedded tools. Its collection and use of information are also governed by its own terms and privacy practices.

Participation in an ActionButton campaign is voluntary. Please review the disclosures presented within the ActionButton interface before submitting your information.
