My name is Jason, and I’m part of the Civic Engagement Team at Change.org.

Our mission is to connect petition supporters with decision makers and to help foster healthy, civil engagement in our communities.

I’m happy to share some encouraging news about this petition.
After reaching out to Assemblyman Anil Beephan’s office regarding your calls to restore the Newburgh-Beacon Ferry, we learned that:

“The Assemblyman has met with the MTA and has submitted letters opposing the shutdown of the Newburgh-Beacon Ferry.”

It’s always encouraging to see how community action — including petitions like this one — can spark conversations and push representatives to advocate on behalf of their constituents. We’ll continue to share any additional updates we receive.
