THIS is the central question. “How can we be the most voter friendly” Thank you, Nuzhat J. for making it plain. If the legislators use this a foundation, the answer is clear— and well known in 49 other states and 2 counties in NJ. #ballotdesign #abolishtheline NJ Working Families Party New Jersey Institute for Social Justice

Join us tonight for the People’s Hearing on the future of New Jersey’s ballot design!

As our Nuzhat J. points out - there’s a real urgent need to protect voters, New Jersey. npr.org/2024/12/06/nx-…

If your constituents wouldn’t know you’re the incumbent, or who you’re running with, without being told so on the ballot, then what are you doing to reach them? The ballot should be a simple tool for ascertaining the wishes of voters, not a get-out-of-campaigning-for-free card.

Today, the Assembly State and Local Government Committee will hear the John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act, a New Jersey voting rights act, for the first time. Listen to our Nuzhat J..

We’re live from Trenton to testify in support of the most important legislation to protect Black and other voters of color in New Jersey. The John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act, a New Jersey votings right act, is expected to be voted on today by Assembly committee.

So much work left to do, but what a great day for the dozens of organizations that have been banging pots and pans for an inclusive New Jersey democracy!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

This is what prison abolitionists have been trying to tell us. Prisons don't exist to lock up "bad people," they exist to lock YOU up as soon as you realize how dangerous the system is and try to resist it. Police budgets are rising along with inequality, it's not a coincidence

Ensuring all citizens have an equal opportunity to participate in New Jersey's political process is fundamental to our democracy. The "John Lewis Voter Empowerment Act," advanced yesterday, would help protect that right for minority voters. Learn more: assemblydems.com/CivicAlerts.as…

For 20+ years, Muhammad A. Aziz & Khalil Islam were wrongfully imprisoned for killing Malcolm X. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover withheld evidence of their innocence. Judge Dale Ho courageously ruled that a lawsuit to hold the United States accountable can proceed. Judges matter.

Stunned that this isn't being discussed on Twitter (not really), but RUTGERS is leading the way with an idea to combat the bullshit that is striking US academia. I knew someone was gonna propose something like this. Proud that it's RU. The Big Ten better fucken bite.

The word’s out, Barred and Boujee and on Bluesky aka Madiba Dennie says to call your senators and the Senate President and tell them to pass the John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act (A4083/S3009)!!!!

Every blue-state legislature could do this literally right now.

The best way to understand what we’re living through is as an extended repeat of the dismantling of reconstruction. The liberal reforms of the civil rights era lasted longer than reconstruction, but were also less sweeping. They too are now being swept away
