Join The Local Council

We're expanding our leadership to include major donors, partners and business leaders. Find out how you can join the TLC, a community of change-makers steering the Montclair Local's groundbreaking nonprofit news model.

“The Montclair Local is dedicated to giving readers the kind of information they need to be fully engaged with Montclair, so that they can ask the right questions and hold power to account. Transparency and openness creates the foundation for connection, fairness and justice. You can't build a shared sense of place without a foundation of facts. The Local Council is such an important source of support for our community-building efforts. Join us."
