Even with the beautiful wins, we can and need to do better about making NJ better for all communities, especially those left out of opportunities, and under attack from a regime hell bent on hurting humans. We need immigrant trust act bills signed ASAP at the very least. #immigrantsmakenj

Truly one of the shining achievements of the Murphy Administration is his commitment to reproductive freedom. New Jersey is a safe haven for anyone who needs access to reproductive health and it must stay that way. #NJSOTS

Affordability crisis is real. And under @govmurphy.bsky.social, NJ is stronger. Under this admin, we raised the min wage, expanded paid fam leave, reduced incarceration, expanded EITC, created child tax credit, & enacted progressive taxes like millionaires, mansion, & corporate transit fee, & more!

Murphy references his own parents, as he has done before -- a bartender and part-time secretary trying to make ends meet.
And for working-class New Jerseyans he has largely followed through: raising the minimum wage, expanding paid family and sick leave, and creating the Child Tax Credit

Three New Jersey congressmen just voted to deepen inequality and hurt their own constituents — with no evidence this bill will help anyone, except to make the wealthy even wealthier.
This bill is cruel. This vote is cowardly. And it shows exactly who they’re really fighting for.

At a time when so many are struggling to make ends meet, we should not be spending our limited resources on programs like StayNJ that disproportionately benefit the wealthy.
