There is nothing inconsistent about wanting to be safe and also wanting to be treated with dignity and respect — in fact, that is the only way to truly keep our communities safe.
Honored to share New Jersey’s progress at

Low-income, minority, and immigrant communities bear the brunt of environmental harm, and we can't ignore that reality.
In New Jersey under
@GovMurphy
’s leadership, we're working to level the playing field and ensure equity for all.

, we pay tribute to the unsung heroes who walk alongside those whose lives have been forever altered by crime. Congratulations to this year’s awardees -- your tirelessness, advocacy, and commitment to victims' rights set an example for us all.
This month, and every month, New Jersey stands with survivors.
Together, we can all create environments where survivors are supported and heard. Thank you to those who joined us last week as we continue to provide assistance and resources to those affected by crime.
This is a devastating day for Charlotte and for law enforcement.
We’re praying for the Charlotte-Mecklenberg police officers, US Marshals, and their family members. No one should face this, ever – especially those bravely working to keep us safe every single day.
Tammy and I are praying for the families of the brave U.S. Marshals who lost their lives today in Charlotte, North Carolina and for the speedy recovery of the law enforcement officers shot in the line of duty.
In New Jersey, we know trans rights are human rights - and state health plans should uphold them. That's why we supported challenges to NC and WV bans on gender-affirming care, and we join in applauding the federal appellate court ruling today.
Breaking news: A federal court in Richmond became the first in the country to rule that state health-care plans must pay for gender-affirming surgeries, a major win for transgender rights amid a nationwide wave of anti-trans activism and legislation.
Policing our communities isn’t enough. To build safer communities, we need to invest in them, and most importantly, we need to listen to them. Because without community trust, we can’t have public safety. Honored to share New Jersey’s work at

All New Jerseyans deserve a healthy and safe environment, regardless of race or financial status.
Glad to join
@SouthWardEA
for today’s environmental summit, and grateful for their work in amplifying resident voices and advocating for healthy, vibrant communities for all.
Everyone should be able to build a family, no matter where they live. That’s why we and other states are asking Congress to pass the Access to Family Building Act, which would protect access to assisted reproductive technology like IVF.
With the new final rule,
@POTUS
has restored and strengthened Title IX’s protections against sexual violence, harassment, and discrimination in schools.
Now we no longer need to fight the Trump-era rulemaking in court.
