Some history from Barbara Hildner, president of NJCU AFT Local 1839: The New Jersey State Normal School for the Training of Teachers was founded in 1929. The Depression hit & thousands of teachers were fired, but the college never closed. It’s now known as NJCU. #FundNJCU @aftnj

NJCU is a majority minority-serving university that helps students - many first generation - get their diplomas and follow their dreams. It is a lifeline for the community and needs Trenton to #FundNJCU with oversight, not cut funding. NJCU AFT Local 1839 AFT New Jersey

NJCU also runs a special needs school, A. Harry Moore, for students and adults. As parent teacher leader Nicole Brown said, we must ensure that we #FundNJCU to guarantee these students meet their dreams too. NJCU AFT Local 1839 AFT New Jersey
