When I posted my earlier comment, I hadn't actually read the nj.com opinion piece posted by OP. Now having read it (see final paragraphs below), it seems even more clear to me that an online effort to collect the required 46k votes should be made...and publicised/shared with nj.com.
​
""While it would take an immense effort to get a 2024 recall drive mounted since DeGise is a councilwoman at large, representing the whole city as opposed to a single ward, those who have protested her refusal to step down should organize better and work toward that goal.
And whether a recall is ultimately successful or not, a grassroots movement should start working now to identify and put forward a strong candidate to replace DeGise in the 2025 election.
It won’t be easy to go up against the HCDO and its war chest – or to fight City Hall – but it can be done.""

Reply to comment by OrdinaryEffinPeople in Amy DeGise must go, but how? | Jersey Journal editorial by rapmasternicky_z
The lady @ 51 mark was fantastic. Her articulation of her concerns perfectly align with my thoughts also - and I suspect many others on the sub-Red. Am still laughing at the comment about Amy D being the "George Santos of JC" :-)
In seriousness, whether 46K signatures are collected or not the mere effort to do so (via online tools) would help keep this issue in the local spotlight.

Reply to What is wrong with people? by BeMadTV
This is a real shame.
Unfort there seem to be so many people nowadays that really do not have a care/thought/respect for anybody else's property or feelings. I recently bought a video doorbell and as part of that, I opted-in to the local (Jersey City) community message board. I am shocked at just how many packages are being stolen DAILY from people's doorsteps - and these thefts are all being recorded by the video doorbells! Some thieves dont even try/bother to hide their faces.

Reply to Any good recommendations for clothing/shoe donation? by AccomplishedAd8766
Since the Salvation Army (near Holland Tunnel) closed, we now donate/drop off at the 'Salvation Army Family Store & Donation Center' located at 242 Martin Luther King Jr Dr, Jersey City, NJ 07305.
Albeit on the main road, we always find a parking spot right out in front and so it's easy to drop off items into there donation bins just inside the store.
Hope that helps.
