New Brunswick City Council canceled a proposed data center after hundreds of residents gathered to speak out against it. The proposed site will once again include a park with the developer instead making a contribution to the City to fund local parks in the neighborhood. https://bit.ly/40n2gWC

#BigNews! The NJ Voting Empowerment Act has passed committee and is headed for a FULL Assembly vote. This bill will strengthen voting protections, break down barriers, and ensure every eligible voter can have their voice heard in elections.

We loved meeting so many passionate students, sharing our work, and having inspiring conversations about building a more sustainable future together. The energy on campus was incredible, and we’re excited about all the new connections we made.

On #ValentinesDay, we’re showing love for the things that matter most– the Common Agenda💘 We are standing up for clean energy, protecting our water and open spaces, and defending the fundamental right to vote. We’re fighting for a healthier, more just New Jersey for everyone.

EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

Trump's EPA has officially made climate denial U.S. policy. This is a slap in the face to Americans being battered by extreme weather, wildfires, droughts, and other climate disasters.

The SAVE Act Status: Now is the Time to Stop it in the Senate Already passed by the House, the SAVE Act would undermine voting access – especially for people most harmed by climate change.

MAGA Republicans are trying to pass two new pieces of legislation that will eliminate online and mail-in voter registration, halt automatic voter registration, and so much more. These bills will effectively complicate the voting process. https://tinyurl.com/4yz3f6de

The first 100 days of an administration sends a clear signal to NJ voters. We are prepared to push for policies that are going to protect our environment, strengthen our democracy, and help us reach a clean energy future. https://tinyurl.com/yuzjjjva

Transit should be safe, reliable, and affordable for all. We’re proud to stand for policies that expand access to opportunity, community, and health for folks in the New Jersey region. @tstc.bsky.social

#NJTidelands belong to the people, not polluters. This Wednesday at 10AM, the Tidelands Resource Council will discuss a permit for Transco’s dirty, unneeded NESE pipeline - join the meeting and make your voice heard! https://dep.nj.gov/wlm/tidelands/

This #BlackHistoryMonth we honor the leaders, organizers, and communities who have shaped our nation and continue to fight for justice, equity, and dignity. Black history is American history and we must not let anyone erase it.
