Just wanted to take a moment to thank #NewsVoices and @freepress for all of the work they've put into organizing and convening folks in @CityofNewBruns. Please keep it up - there's so much more work to do. Our local news deficits need constant tending to be overcome.

Nicole Pittman: 100% of the 500 children I interviewed for the Human Rights Watch juvenile sex offender registry report were victims of the child welfare system before they ever had an offense. @JuvLaw1975 @colabarts

“The NEA has exemplary partnerships with over 40% of funding going through state arts agencies... Partnered with other appropriations serving over 23,000 projects in 5,000 communities. All politics is local and that is certainly true with the NEA” @Americans4Arts @artpridenj

Congratulations to @NJ_ISJ on 20 years of social justice service! Three eras of leadership on stage together. @colabarts #1844NoMore

[Dan Swern @danswern]

Rutgers Law School testimony - 6.1 million people nationally who are disenfranchised (1.7 million in 1976). 77% of this 6.1 million are not presently incarcerated. #1844NoMore @colabarts @NJISJ2012

https://t.co/XiVZ6cFEM1 Testimony - civic engagement reduces recidivism! #1844NoMore @colabarts @NJISJ2012

[Dan Swern @danswern]

ACLU Testimony: We all want to be counted, valued, treated with respect, and have a say in the way we live our lives. Voting is a fundamental way that activates our core principles of democracy. NJ strips this away and targets persons of color. #1844NoMore @colabarts @NJISJ2012

[Dan Swern @danswern]

Testimony: Overwhelming direction in this country towards giving the formerly incarcerated the opportunity to participate in our democracy. New Jersey’s standstill on this issue in comparison is glaring. #1844NoMore @colabarts @NJISJ2012

[Dan Swern @danswern]

Testimonial: America incarcerates more people than anywhere else in the world, but we don’t rehabilitate people. We warehouse people. @colabarts @NJISJ2012

[Dan Swern @danswern]

Rice: Voting rights disenfranchisement has only aggravated the racial disparities we see in NJ today, and has made it deeper. Committee members agree that this legislation is a long time coming. @colabarts @njisj

[Dan Swern @danswern]

Senator Rice kicking off. Comparing the biases today with those that have persisted through American history in the criminal justice system. There’s no correlation between criminal recidivism and having the right to vote following incarceration. @colabarts @NJISJ2012

[Dan Swern @danswern]

Trenton. Testimonies about to begin on S2100 - This bill removes the prohibition on voting by persons who are on parole, probation, or serving a sentence due to a conviction for an indictable offense under any federal or State laws. https://t.co/nN2kCtCSpE @colabarts @NJISJ2012
