I spent the afternoon in Tewksbury with committed Democrats who refuse to let our democracy slip away. We need a leader who will fiercely protect the Constitution and build an economy that leaves no one behind. On June 10, let’s vote Ras Baraka for real change. #RasForGovernor

They say I’m not electable because I’m from Newark, because I’m progressive, because I’m Black. I say that’s exactly why I’m ready. New Jersey is ready too. Ready for change. Ready for Ras Baraka. June 10. #RasForGovernor #ReimagineNJ #TeamBaraka

More updates soon. For now, remember: ICE is arresting elected officials for trying to protect their people.
