Good news! @USTreasury is starting to examine the distribution of taxes and benefits by race. @DorothyABrown JUST spoke at @StateImpactCon about how critical a move like this is to countering the fallacy that our tax system affects everyone equally.

It’s official: the Values Act has been introduced by the NJ Legislature!

Among other protections, the bill codifies and strengthens the Immigrant Trust Directive – an important @NJGov policy that helps keep families together and communities safer.

Get to know the Values Act:

With billions of dollars in profits, Amazon could provide safe, sustainable jobs that enhance the humanity and well-being of warehouse workers. Instead, it imposes a dehumanizing pace of work that treats workers as disposable.

[ACLU of New Jersey @ACLUNJ]

We don’t have to imagine a future where someone who needs abortion care can’t access it – that’s the reality for too many.

That’s why we’re at the State House with @ThriveNJ to rally and urge the NJ Legislature to #PassTheRFA in full before this legislative session ends.

[National Immigration Law Center @NILC]

Every immigrant essential worker in this country should be paid equitably, provided protections at work, and honored with a pathway to citizenship.

There is no time to wait!🚨

TAKE ACTION & tell your senators! https://t.co/QfwAdTTR6J

Abortion rights are under attack. Being denied an abortion has devastating consequences on the economic trajectory of a person’s life.

It's time for New Jersey to expand and protect abortion rights and pass the Reproductive Freedom Act!
