The US onAir Network will be working with volunteers from New Jersey universities, colleges, and nonprofit organizations to oversee the curation and moderation of posts, aircasts (online discussions), and in person events for the New Jersey onAir Hub … related to federal, state, and local elections and government.
Our first outreach will be to Rutgers University partly because of its proximity to the state capital. We have identified many of Rutgers’s civic engagement, academic, internship and research programs related to making democracy and civic responsibility a focus of higher learning on their campus … for students, faculty, staff, and local community. This post, over time, will have similar information on other collaborating organizations in the state.

New Jersey is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States. It is bordered on the north and east by the state of New York; on the east, southeast, and south by the Atlantic Ocean; on the west by the Delaware River and Pennsylvania; and on the southwest by Delaware Bay and the state of Delaware. New Jersey is the fourth-smallest state by area but the 11th-most populous, with 9,288,994 residents as of 2020 and an area of 8,722.58 square miles (22,591.4 km2), making it the most densely populated of the 50 U.S. states. New Jersey’s state capital is Trenton, while the state’s most populous city is Newark. All but one county in New Jersey (Warren County)[10] lie within the combined statistical areas of New York City or Philadelphia; consequently, the state’s largest metropolitan area falls within Greater New York.
