At our press conference, BIPOC childcare providers & parents shared why affordable, accessible childcare is essential. With a $30M shortfall leaving families without support, NJ must urgently invest in childcare. Thank you @SenMTeresaRuiz, @AsmAngelaMcK & @SenBTimberlake for fighting to fix this.

The threats reported this morning in several counties are a clear attempt to undermine our democratic system and intimidate New Jerseyans from going to the polls to exercise their right to vote. Let me be clear: there is no credible threat to New Jerseyans' safety at the polls.
