Bank mergers can mean less access for the people who need it most: seniors, low-income families, and people of color. As federal oversight of bank mergers weakens, we urge a strong Community Benefits Agreement that puts NJ’s underserved communities first.

Sherrill keeps her promise to take action against N.J.’s soaring electric rates. But is it enough?
The new governor called for a pause on rate increases, more solar power and a nuclear task force to expand generation.

This pantry in Orange, NJ. usually feeds 700+ families. Yesterday, it was heartbreakingly quiet. The rumors alone of ICE raids just a few blocks away have kept families from showing up for food they desperately need.
