NJ has made real progress towards ending the drug war, but our work isn't done.

This 4/20, we’re calling for the removal of all criminal and civil penalties related to drug use. We need evidence-based solutions that advance public health & racial justice.

It's wonderful that NJ legalized #marijuana . But now we need to make New Jersey’s cannabis market accessible and inclusive.

Those communities most hurt by the #WarOnDrugs need to share in the money from the legal cannabis industry.

Organizations in Paterson, around the state and country are outraged. More regulations are placed on poor and working class people than developers or slumlords.

We will hold a rally on Tuesday to urge city council members to vote down this ordinance.

We are asking for anyone who understands the harm this ordinance will cause to poor and working class people, and those that help, to call into the city council meeting this Tuesday at 7pm.

Instead of fighting poverty, the Mayor of Paterson is fighting the poor.

His new ordinance regulates individuals and organizations that help community members in need.

You can get a $2,000 fine or face jail time for feeding or clothing someone.

Attacks on OPRA are continuing in Trenton. NJ lawmakers have not given up the fight to 🚧 limit the public’s access to PUBLIC government records.

🚨 There is no democracy without government transparency. 🚨

Tell NJ lawmakers: NO rollbacks on OPRA ⬇️ action.aclu.org/send-message/n…

a sentiment repeated over and over again at these hearings — people don't want any money from cannabis revenue allocated to policing and law enforcement agencies

It’s a new day in the history of NJ politics. And we did it together!

This is only the beginning, and now the sky's the limit. #LineAbolished

This is a HUGE (‼️) win for democracy!

Voters — not party insiders — will now have the power to choose their own representatives.

This will transform elections and result in better policies now that elected officials will be accountable to the people. #AbolishTheLine

We applaud the district court’s decision to issue a preliminary injunction putting an immediate stop to the use of the “county line” in NJ primaries.

As we explained in our amicus brief, the “county line” violates voters’ constitutional rights. aclu-nj.org/en/press-relea…

It would be unconscionable and shameful if legislators ram through an OPRA bill that over 100 organizations oppose.

❌We just contacted every member of the legislature to oppose S2930/A4045❌

NJAIJ and our members have used OPRA to:
👁️monitor ICE activity in NJ
💪🏿fight language barriers
⚖️stand up for our rights
