"Ocean Township Action is a grassroots community advocacy group based in Ocean Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey. Founded on October 8, 2025 by resident Jonah Blumenfeld, the group positions itself as a populist, anti-establishment movement opposing what it describes as rampant overdevelopment as well as local political elitism. The organization advocates for greater local control over development, municipal transparency, and preservation of community character. According to its published statement, the group regards certain recent—or proposed—development projects in the township as driven by 'outsider interests' that harm the town’s values and traditions, including large investment firms (notably BlackRock Incorporated and the Vanguard Group) marketing 'luxury' properties to seasonal buyers and 'NYC-based demographics.' The group argues that such development threatens local parks, raises property taxes, strains aging infrastructure, reduces open space, and erodes the identity and character of long-term residents’ neighborhoods, adopting anti-establishment, cultural preservationist, conservative-populist, and localist viewpoints. Ocean Township Action states its goals as giving local residents — rather than outside developers or investors — more say in how the community is shaped. The group emphasizes support for local families, long-time residents, and preservation of community character and traditions for future generations. The group encourages supporters to use the hashtag #oceantownshipaction on social media to raise awareness of its efforts."
