Spin-off or break-away mailing lists are fairly common. It is possible
that both of your lists can coexist. If "Jay" is the chair person of the
coalition, he probably has the right to run the official mailing list
for the coalition. You could either continue to run your list as an
unofficial, unsanctioned mailing list or you can offer to run your
original list per "Jay's" specifications. I'd get on the phone with "Jay"
and see if you can negotiate a mutually agreeable resolution. Difficult
to say more based on what you posted.
