🔴BREAKING: @NewJerseyOAG @NJLaborDept just filed a MASSIVE lawsuit on behalf of thousands of @amazon Flex drivers in NJ. Flex drivers deserve: ✅overtime pay ✅paid sick ✅an end to abusive surveillance @MaketheRoadNJ is echoing drivers' call for Amazon accountability!
NJ has no tolerance for companies that generate billions in profits by denying employees rightful wages, benefits, and other protections. With @NJLaborDept we're suing Amazon to end the company's greed-driven employee exploitation through its Flex program. https://t.co/zXmqBGXCQq

A work in progress for many years! (Just look at how short my hair was)
Revolutionary ideas such as Vision Zero, the environment-impacting bike share system (Citi-Bike), creation of miles of bike lanes and pedestrian crossing enhancements, Jersey City has commuted its way to being the destination city of the northeast as Our City is Transformed.

Take it from me: You do NOT negotiate with abusers. So if Trump wants to illegally take New Jersey’s funding, we have to fight back with everything we’ve got. My idea? Eminent domain Trump’s golf course for affordable housing. My debut in @NYDailyNews: https://t.co/wvekcyMytW

Take it from someone who’s spent years as a survivor advocate, working with people hurt by those in power: You do not negotiate with abusers.

The coordinated silencing of dissent. Don’t sit back, Jersey. We have the power to do something.
.@RaviBhalla & @katiebrennan_32 are calling for NJ to pull tax credits for networks that censor people like @jimmykimmel. “Free speech is the foundation of our democracy. Censoring comedians is what happens in dictatorships." https://t.co/T4XNrUcCZk

Breaking down New Jersey politics to folks from out of state never gets old. I joined @LeftAnchor to talk machine politics, how New Jersey wasn't really a democracy until this year, and how we're building a people powered movement here in Hudson County: https://t.co/ooCF7TI8pL

Proud to co-author this op-ed w/@AsmJohnAllen Simply put: this is about protecting ratepayers and making sure working-class New Jerseyans aren’t left to rebuild alone after climate disasters. The science is clear. And the public supports it.

New York passed a Climate Superfund Act to hold corporate polluters accountable for billions in climate damage. New Jersey must do the same.

When JC and Hoboken banned RealPage, they set an example for others to follow. Now cities across the country are taking similar action. But we can’t leave this fight to individual cities. We need a statewide ban on rent-fixing algorithms across *all* NJ

Jersey City became the first municipality in New Jersey to ban these algorithms, followed by Hoboken, which recently passed a similar ordinance.

Opioid settlement funds are supposed to be lifelines for communities overwhelmed by the opioid epidemic – not a slush fund to host concerts and throw parties.
N.J. town received money to fight opioid crisis. It paid for concerts, cotton candy, report says.

Gotta be a better way.
