With housing becoming less affordable by the day and NJ being home to some of the worst racial disparities in the country, we need to sit down and talk about how we got here – and how we’ll get out.

This #BlackAugust, celebrate Robert Carter.
Carter was a renowned civil rights lawyer, an architect of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education litigation and a federal judge.
But before all that he was just a 16-year old in NJ who was forced to face unrelenting segregation.

Two years ago, we lost a true leader.
Sheila Oliver had the courage to speak up about social justice issues that are crucial to our state but that don’t always get the attention they require.
Let's honor her memory genuinely. Let's talk about reparations.
