Haiti is heading back to the FIFA World Cup, ending a 52-year absence from soccer’s biggest stage and sparking excitement among the Haitian community.
Dozens of Haitian soccer fans descended on Stockton University Tuesday for a rare opportunity to watch Haiti train in person as the squad prepares for its return to the FIFA World Cup.
For many, the event marked more than a routine practice session.

Members of the Caucus came together this week with advocates from across the state in support of gun violence prevention. A press conference was held to address the work that is being done to combat this senseless violence & was followed by a roundtable discussion.
Moments like this remind us of the history that surrounds us in the Capitol.

The Dignity in Pregnancy & Childbirth Act would have mandated the implicit bias training that could have saved Amber’s life. Black mamas are dying because no one is holding providers accountable even when the data says so.
Every family deserves a safe home.

Kicking off Pride Month with Freeport Pride! 📷
A huge thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and supporters who made today’s event such a success.
This month feels especially important as LGBTQ+ communities across the country face growing challenges and efforts to roll back hard-won rights and recognition.
Pride is a celebration of love, identity, and community, but it’s also a reminder that visibility, inclusion, and equality matter.
We stand with our LGBTQ+ neighbors today and every day. Happy Pride Month! 📷📷📷📷📷📷
