Voters are being stripped of their rightful power. Rushed legislation, no transparency, party line ballot design, a delayed legislative map that does not reflect population changes while political insiders draw new lines behind closed doors....if you're not mad...

It took 5 days for NJ legislators to rush through billions in corporate welfare, while residents are still waiting for #Recovery4All. There’s a word for elected officials who bow to corporate power while people are struggling to survive: Cowards. #TaxTheRich #NJEDA

It’s not easy to stand alone in politics. @SenatorGill is the ONLY Democratic member of the legislature who did not vote yes on both the 2019 or 2020 versions of these EDA extensions and changes. Thank you for siding with people rather than corporations and a rushed process!

"...in Less Than a Week." 😰

Exactly. This is why SOMA Action opposed ballot measures 3, as part of Fair Districts NJ. Hoping to work with the NJ legislature for better redistricting reform in the years that lie ahead.

NJ's United Black Agenda also expresses their concern to Murphy about the new EDA bill.

Shame. @PhilMurphyNJ

If you saw this photo today or read a story from a reporter based at the Capitol, I hope you remember that the work of our Capitol Hill press corps is just as important for the preservation of democracy as Congress’.

Thank you Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. !

Thank you Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr.

Agreed.

This thread. This is how laws get passed in NJ, and it's not OK. This is why SOMA Action is aligned with many other grassroots groups in our state committed to #TakeBackNJ.

Must-listen clip about the party line in NJ, and a federal lawsuit that is challenging it. While party committee members vote on who gets the line in some counties, here in Essex County, this decision is not open to committee members, and is made behind closed doors. 😡

We agree. This is a ridiculous conflict of interest.

Who wants to speak with our Speaker tomorrow? Call in tomorrow morning!

In November, New Jersey voted to legalize recreational cannabis by a 2-to-1 margin. Yet, marijuana is still illegal — and 6,000+ people have been arrested since Election Day. Act now to urge your lawmakers to pass a legalization bill! Via ACLU of New Jersey action.aclu.org/send-message/n…

Thank Governor Phil Murphy for your support of this essential healthcare legislation. Steve Sweeney’s old @ Speaker Craig J. Coughlin please bring this bill to a vote!
