Call the Mayor's office

One minute on the phone. Ask for the Mayor's office and read this:

"I'm a Jersey City resident. Please enforce Ordinance 07-153, the recorded covenant protecting the Korean War Memorial. It has been reported unmet every night for over a year, and no fine has been collected. With the City facing a $255 million deficit, why does it leave this uncollected?"
☎ Call (201) 547-5000

Speak at an upcoming Council meeting

On July 1 the Council voted down the proposed tax increase, but the City's $255 million deficit and unfinished budget remain, and the fight continues at the Council's budget meetings this month at City Hall, 280 Grove Street (also streamed on Microsoft Teams). To speak, contact the City Clerk to be placed on the public-comment list.
