🚨📢 HAPPENING TONIGHT: Join us and our powerful coalition to get caught up to speed on the urgent work to push through the package of immigrant protection bills (A6308, A6309, and A6310) in the New Jersey Legislature - and learn how YOU can help us in the fight for #NJforALL! 💥
Let’s not let the disrespectful treatment of our Senator and AG distract from the fact that these proposals - to strip the state Comptroller’s office of its power to fight corruption as well as remove the state police from the AG’s office- are just plain bad for New Jersey.
Since I got to Washington, I’ve rarely weighed in on state bills. However, people’s faith in Government is at risk with these proposals. They should be defeated.
While other states build up savings to protect residents from federal program cuts, NJ took a different path:
📊 Reserves reduced to $6.8B (below recommended levels)
📈 Deficit increased to $1.5B
⏰ Preparation for federal cuts delayed

This is why we must double down on organizing not just mobilizing. The people are the only ones able to stop this authoritarian rule. May we move quickly and powerfully. #organize

Congratulations to soon to be Senator @AndyKimNJ!!! We look forward to you continuing to work with our leaders to build a world that loves all people and restores hope.
We just won our Senate race! As a son of immigrants, a public school kid, I never could’ve imagined I’d get to serve as a US Senator. I’m deeply humbled and grateful to NJ and for everyone who got us here. I promise I’ll serve with honor and integrity as a public servant for all.
PVSC held a meeting where we urged them to vote 'no' on building a 4th gas-fired power plant in Newark but they still did not vote 'no' which means the battle is still on. Email them & tell them to vote 'NO'. https://t.co/rByObpTDb5
