It has now been 87 days since the start of the Trump administration.

New Jersey’s gubernatorial candidates speak candidly on immigration, voting rights and other hot topics.
New Jersey is one of only two states electing a Governor this year. Our decisions about who should lead the Garden State will have profound implications across the country. Join us to hear from New Jersey’s gubernatorial candidates on issues of social and racial justice, and what, if elected, they would do to preserve the rights and safety of New Jersey’s communities of color.

As a new administration in Washington ushers in new policies around immigration, federal funding for education and more, the stakes for all of New Jersey’s citizens could not be higher. How will those who would lead our state respond to this unprecedented moment?
