Voters are demanding bold leadership on issues like economic justice, immigrant justice, climate action, and affordable housing. If Sherrill wants to build a winning coalition, she must engage with and listen to the communities that powered these progressive campaigns.

Mikie Sherrill may have won the primary election but one thing is clear: if she hopes to win in November, she must take the progressive base seriously. The results show that the progressive vote was split—Ras Baraka and Steven Fulop each drew significant support, sending a strong message.

Mass detention is a cruel, inhumane/broken system that devastates our communities. These cages are the backbone of Trump’s mass deportation agenda, and we cannot be complicit and stay silent. In 2021, New Jersey drew a hard line: detention centers are not welcome here. #shutthemdown

Right now NJ is failing to do everything it can to protect its residents from Trump’s mass deportation campaign. We need the Immigrant Trust Act now—no more delays!

Trump may use N.J. military base to detain undocumented immigrants, report says Gov. Phil Murphy was not aware of the plans, his office told NJ Advance Media.

The Trump administration is planning to turn Fort Dix into a massive detention facility in NJ. Our state leaders need to stop stalling and take action. Where is their courage and leadership? www.nj.com/politics/202...
