On February 27, 1997, Jon Shure incorporated a fledgling think tank named New Jersey Policy Perspective. From a home office and P.O. box, NJPP has grown in scope and reach.
For 25 years, NJPP has been at the forefront of efforts to secure a thriving future for everyone in our state — from a $15 minimum wage, to paid sick leave, to a fairer tax code, and beyond. But no matter how much progress we have made, more work remains.
Join NJPP for a celebration a quarter of a century in the making!
This September, NJPP will celebrate this major milestone and we want you to be part of the festivities! Join us as we celebrate the last two and a half decades and lay the groundwork for the years to come at two special events:
