Did you know the Medicaid rules have changed? Now is the time to make sure Medicaid has your current address and contact information so you don’t miss important updates and information. Visit njfamilycare.org or call (888) 654-3893 to learn more today.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka says all legal avenues are on the table to prevent a private prison company from opening an immigrant detention facility. “These guys need to know that we don’t want them here before they even try to get here." newjerseymonitor.com/briefs/newark-…
🕊️We mourn the passing of @RepDonaldPayne, a powerful public leader who stood up for working class families of color in the 10th district & for Amazon workers in NJ. Nuestro más sentido pésame a su familia y seres queridos.
Public transit is the backbone of the economy, writes @SenatorLorettaW in a new op-ed. "New Jersey and its commuters deserve a world-class transit system. Asking the world’s biggest corporations to help pay for it is a no-brainer." northjersey.com/story/opinion/…
These drivers in Woodland Park, NJ have been organizing under extremely difficult conditions. One I spoke with had a message for her fellow Amazon workers:
"“Some drivers have been threatened with guns,” one Flex driver told me. “The homeowners have told them not to come during those hours, because they feel that they’re trespassing, because we don’t have any markings making it clear that we work for Amazon.” jacobin.com/2024/04/amazon…
📰MUST READ: @alexnpress on our campaign with #Flex drivers, who report earning subminimum wages at Amazon: “Amazon wants us to ‘deliver smiles’ to customers, but it’s hard to feel like smiling when we’re constantly at risk,” said Evelyn, a Flex driver of two years.”

"Why are we continuing to put the burden on the backs of everyday New Jerseyans instead of asking corporations like Amazon, Walmart and Bank of America to invest in programs and services, like NJTransit?" @NJWFP's @heytonimichelle w/ the QTNA as the biz lobby fights tax fairness

📌SAVE THE DATE! May Day in Newark, NJ. Celebrate with us the workers day as we demand a safety net for excluded workers in New Jersey. Stay tune for more info.
GeoGroup is notorious for — in the words of government investigators— “barbaric” and “negligent” conditions in their ICE prisons, so much so that @NJGov divested from Geo in 2018. NJ elected officials & residents have made it clear: ICE cannot use our state to detain & deport.

Do you get healthcare through Medicaid? Medicaid rules have changed and everyone must renew their health coverage. Double-check that Medicaid knows how to reach you by visiting njfamilycare.org or call (888) 654-3893 today.
🎉 Help us congratulate Alondra - a powerful Youth Power Project leader and Student Success Center felllow - who received an award for winning @princetonprize for advancing racial equity in our schools through the #CounselorsNotCops campaign & college access programming.
This perfectly captures the absurdity of New Jersey politics right now: 🚊 Free transit for World Cup fans but a 15% fare hike for commuters 💸 Unspecified state and local tax breaks with no cost estimate 🤫 Secret contract with FIFA kept hidden, finally released under OPRA

‼️DeSantis is setting the example of what NOT to do when it comes to worker protections from climate change. NJ needs a strong workplace heat standard NOW before more lives are lost due to management’s recklessness. @SenPresScutari @SpeakerCoughlin npr.org/2024/04/12/124…
For #TaxDay, I wrote this op-ed on how giant profitable corporations manipulate the tax system to pay lower rates than typical taxpayers. The Corporate Transit Fee is just a small step towards getting Big Business to pay what they owe NJ. newjerseyglobe.com/taxes/opinion-…
Even the CEO of NJ Transit admits that fare hikes won’t fully fund the agency: “This gets us to next year.” Can we please stop kicking the can down the road? There’s a way to finally fix NJ Transit and it’s called the Corporate Transit Fee.

NJ Transit is nearly $1 billion short. Taxing corporations like Amazon, Tesla could fix that. northjersey.com/story/opinion/…
Public transit is the backbone of the economy, writes @SenatorLorettaW in a new op-ed. "New Jersey and its commuters deserve a world-class transit system. Asking the world’s biggest corporations to help pay for it is a no-brainer." northjersey.com/story/opinion/…
These drivers in Woodland Park, NJ have been organizing under extremely difficult conditions. One I spoke with had a message for her fellow Amazon workers:
"“Some drivers have been threatened with guns,” one Flex driver told me. “The homeowners have told them not to come during those hours, because they feel that they’re trespassing, because we don’t have any markings making it clear that we work for Amazon.” jacobin.com/2024/04/amazon…
Behind Amazon’s lightning-fast delivery service is an entire population of Amazon Flex workers, whose wages are meager and whose employment status is as independent contractors rather than Amazon employees. jacobin.com/2024/04/amazon…
"Why are we continuing to put the burden on the backs of everyday New Jerseyans instead of asking corporations like Amazon, Walmart and Bank of America to invest in programs and services, like NJTransit?" @NJWFP's @heytonimichelle w/ the QTNA as the biz lobby fights tax fairness
Business lobbyists say NJ should use its fast-growing sales tax revenues instead of the proposed corporate transit fee to fund NJ Transit. But progressive advocates argue sales taxes take a larger portion of earnings from those who can least afford it. ow.ly/ULS050RmHcM
Amazon Flex instant delivery worker: “We only want Amazon to value us, to value the work that we do, to pay us a fair and livable wage, and to make sure that we’re not forgotten.” jacobin.com/2024/04/amazon…
📌SAVE THE DATE! May Day in Newark, NJ. Celebrate with us the workers day as we demand a safety net for excluded workers in New Jersey. Stay tune for more info.
A private prison org is suing the state over its law barring contracts for immigration detention centers, arguing the law will likely block a $100M contract to potentially open a 600bed facility in Newark. newjerseymonitor.com/2024/04/19/pri…

Making NJ a real democracy -- what needs to happen next: nj.com/opinion/2024/0… To preempt a decision in Conforti, NJ's legislative leadership may try to adopt a version of an office block ballot that would enable the political machines to continue controlling who gets elected
Imagine an economy that GUARANTEES: ✅ Homes ✅ Health care ✅ College ✅ Dignified Work ✅ Family care ✅ Income ✅ Inheritance ESP President and co-founder @nataliefoster's new book The Guarantee is out April 23 and lays out a vision for the Guarantee Economy 🧵
So many things wrong in NJ rn. Where is the leadership on this. There is such a disconnect between our electeds and the people rn.

Yadira from Passaic takes the bus every day. Today, along with fellow working class commuters, are @NJTRANSIT hearing ahead of the proposed 15% fare increase vote. @GovMurphy @SenPresScutari @SpeakerCoughlin it’s time to ensure @NJGov is affordable & accesible for ALL.
