In 2021, NJ passed the 1st state law to limit the use of criminal records in tenant screening. Now, President Biden is close to ending the practice of banning people w/ criminal records from public housing.
@CashaunaHill explains why this is so important: nextcity.org/urbanist-news/w…

The data is clear: a humane approach to immigration policy wins with voters regardless of party.
We’re urging candidates to disrupt harmful narratives. It’s the right thing to do and it will win more votes. Hear more from @AmolSinha in @starledger.

Despite paying $1.3 billion+ in state & local taxes, undocumented immigrants in NJ “are excluded from almost every safety net protection.”
New Jersey can change that by expanding access to the safety net, including UI benefits through #JobBridgeNJ.

Yesterday, our @AssattaMann took the streets of Newark alongside other community leaders to express outrage and grief over Sonya Massey’s death.
As we're tragically reminded far too often, New Jersey is not immune police violence.

New report: Undocumented NJ residents pay more than $1.3 BILLION in state and local taxes annually.
And if granted legal status, they could potentially contribute up to $300 million more.
Immigrant residents' work and tax contributions help all of us.
In 2022, undocumented immigrants contributed $96.7 billion in federal, state, & local taxes.
Our new report is a reminder that immigration policy choices in the years ahead will have significant consequences for public revenues & communities nationwide.

In New Jersey alone, undocumented immigrants pay nearly $1.33 billion in state and local taxes each year.
Immigrants bring skills and talents that enrich New Jersey and contribute to their local communities and the broader economy that benefits all of us.

The one piece of legislation everyone *knows* NJ has to pass every year is the budget. And yet, more often than not, the process so is opaque & insular that by the time there's a public document, everyone is rushing to vote on something they haven't even read. Embarrassing stuff.
Deja vu June 2023, when Legis Dems passed a budget few got the chance to even read. Will @johnreitmeyer have to break out the Shutdown Needle?: With budget deadline looming, it's crickets from Democratic lawmakers njspotlightnews.org/2024/06/… via @NJSpotlightNews

“This law is bad policy, bad politics, and bad news for anyone who believes that government should work for the people and not for special interests,” said @NicoleNJPP on the new law gutting access to public records. njspotlightnews.org/2024/06/…

More diverse and representative juries that include people convicted of felonies enhance the legitimacy of verdicts and the quality of deliberations.
"And that makes the justice system more just for everyone involved," said @MarleinaU.
