NEW: The November 3rd Election will be primarily vote-by-mail.

All active registered New Jersey voters will automatically receive a prepaid return-postage vote-by-mail ballot.

No one should have to choose between their right to vote and their health.

As shared yesterday, all 13 COVID cases Thurs/Fri were travel related, 12 to hot spots. How did we know so quickly? We’ve had non-stop contact tracing in real time every day by our Health Dpt & we have 15 min rapid testing w/ @RiversideMedGrp so we aren’t waiting days for results

In 1865, Black people all over the South were saying this Union officials: Do not abolish slavery and leave us landless and disenfranchised. Do not force us to
work for our former masters and call that freedom. Do not allow the law replace the master. 1/3

Wearing a face mask shows respect for others and helps protect our most vulnerable populations, healthcare workers and public safety officers. Face masks continue to be required in all businesses and should also be worn when outdoors.

There is an vast body of literature, research, and analysis that exists on the topic of abolition. People, specifically Black feminists, have been rigorously engaging with the idea for decades. Just because it's an idea you're not familiar with doesn't mean it's worth dismissing.
