Let's Drive NJ

The Let's Drive NJ campaign fights to allow all New Jerseyans who can prove their identity and residence to be licensed, trained, and insured.

[Let's Drive NJ @LetsDriveNJ]

Expanding the opportunity to apply for a driver's license to residents regardless of status makes New Jersey a better place to live for all.

We call on the @NJ_MVC to own up to their agency's challenges and take responsibility for any delays. @njdotcom @JGoldmanNJ ⬇️

[NJ Alliance for Immigrant Justice @NJAIJ]

It is not okay to place blame on any marginalized community @NJ_MVC. NJ immigrants without status were unfairly left out of access to driver's licenses and won it back with 2019 law.

Why didn’t the agency allocate more resources to support staff at licensing centers? 1/2

[NJ Alliance for Immigrant Justice @NJAIJ]

MVC had nearly 3 years of notice and more than enough time to engage advocates and the community to prepare. 2/2 @JGoldmanNJ

Only four states – New Jersey, New Mexico, Virginia and Washington – require agents to produce a court order or arrest warrant signed by a judge before handing over personal data. @NJAIJ @ACLUNJ

[POGO Investigates @POGOinvestigate]

At least seven states have shared personal information from undocumented drivers with ICE since January 2020. Agents often say these immigrants are suspects in crimes, but sometimes they're searching for people who they think overstayed a visa. https://t.co/EhEyNwrJRh

This is not okay.@NJ_MVC

[Faith In New Jersey @FaithInNJ]

Also we're 👂hearing reports of community members being yelled at when they need assistance in another language. Good customer service inculdes being treated with dignity. What's going on @NJ_MVC? @LetsDriveNJ

[Faith In New Jersey @FaithInNJ]

We're getting word that people are struggling to get there licenses at the DMV in Vineland and are not being treated with dignity. What's going on @NJ_MVC? @LetsDriveNJ

[Let's Drive NJ @LetsDriveNJ]

We are so incredibly proud of every newly eligible driver passing their exam and getting their license to drive. ❤😭🌟🏅🏆🚗🤗

Now ALL NJ residents, regardless of their immigration status, can get a driver’s license.

how it started: how its going:

[Make the Road New Jersey 🦋 @MaketheRoadNJ]

Throughout the #LetsDriveNJ campaign Mr. Cabrera met w/ legislators to share why the importance of having a driver’s license.

After 15 years, he was finally start his process to getting his driver’s license!

“Mi gente, now it’s the time to join the fight for respect & dignity.”

[ACLU of New Jersey @ACLUNJ]

But, it’s hard to celebrate this victory fully when there are reports about community members facing hurdles and being disrespected and turned away at MVC locations across NJ.

Hear it from Amanda, an organizer for @NewLabor:

[ACLU of New Jersey @ACLUNJ]

It’s finally here!

New Jersey residents with ITINs can now apply for a standard driver’s license.

This means more people can drive to work, school, and visit family members without fear.

Community members + advocates fought for YEARS to get us here. It's a moment to be proud.
