Hey, all!
No newsletter today because it’s a holiday. HOWEVER, I am sending one action I one reminder out now because both are time sensitive.
First, the action: please do this if you’re in New Jersey, and forward the action to friends and family in the Garden State if you’re not.
⏰⏰ TIME SENSITIVE: URGENT!⏰⏰
Governor Murphy needs PEOPLE POWERED PRESSURE to sign 3 Immigrant Protection bills by TUESDAY!
We need these bills signed, but he won’t do it unless he hears from lots and lots of people! Advocates have fought for 6 long years to get these bills passed; we need to support them. Governor Murphy only has 1 day left to sign!
Call and/or text the message:
I’m a New Jersey resident from [zip] and I’m urging Governor Murphy to sign the three immigrant protection bills on his desk. Please protect our immigrant neighbors and in the process, ALL New Jerseyans!
Phone: 609-292-6000
Text: 732-605-5455
Here’s info on the bills. Some details have changed since a recent vote but still relevant.
Second: don’t forget that on Tuesday, January 20 at 2:00 pm local time, Women’s March is asking everyone — from middle schoolers to retirees — to walk out of school, work and commerce in order to block the normal routines of power. Please join them if you can!
When: Tuesday, January 20, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm PST LOCAL TIME
Thanks, everyone! Happy MLK DAY!
