People are tired of paying more and getting less. NJ needs real investments in affordability, transit, healthcare, and public services. These are possible if we ask the wealthiest, that got a huge tax cut from Congress, to actually pay what they owe. njcablogger2025.substack.com/p/new-jersey...

If we want a more affordable state, stronger communities, and a future where communities thrive, we cannot continue asking residents to settle for budgets that merely tread water while inequality deepens around them. The time for new, fair, progressive revenue is now. patch.com/new-jersey/n...

Strong day in Jersey City with hundreds of workers, community allies, and standing together for a fairer New Jersey. Excited to see @katiebrennan.bsky.social behind bold revenue proposals that make the ultra wealthy finally pay their fair share!

Today, people across NJ are taking action for working families and economic justice. Proud to stand in Newark with and allies to say: Workers over billionaires. Tax the rich! Invest in people! #MayDay #WorkersOverBillionaires

Workers, students, and families are uniting for May Day under one banner: Workers Over Billionaires. The system is rigged for the ultra-rich—let’s fight for a future that protects all working people. Join us in Jersey City. Tax the rich. No ICE. No war. www.mobilize.us/njea/event/9...

Bruce Springsteen (though we love him) Tom Kean Jr., NJ billionaires and the ultra-wealthy are not paying their fair share of taxes on Tax Day. This is thanks to a vote from Tom Kean Jr. on the big ugly bill of last year. Read our press statement here: www.njcitizenaction.org/new_jersey_b...

On Tax Day, working families pay what they owe. It’s past time the wealthiest and biggest corporations do the same. Submit a public comment to the budget committees to demand NJ tax income over $2M and close corporate offshore profit loopholes. Take action today: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

We were promised an economic boost. Instead, NJ taxpayers are footing a growing bill for the World Cup while FIFA profits. If this event is so lucrative, why are we paying for it? newjerseymonitor.com/2026/04/01/t...

Advocates, community leaders, and residents from across New Jersey gathered on Monday, March 30, at New Jersey Institute of Technology ahead of the final Senate Budget Committee public hearing to demand a state budget that prioritizes working families over corporate profits.

The math is clear: the scale of the NJ's budget problems demands a broader approach. At a time when Trump-era tax cuts delivered massive windfalls to the wealthiest households and large corporations, New Jersey cannot take progressive revenue options off the table. www.insidernj.com/press-releas...

The Governor's first budget proposal confronts the difficult fiscal reality NJ finds itself in. It prioritizes families and key programs like schools and pensions. BUT the goal of expanding opportunity will mean giving families more supports, building stronger govt programs, and taxing the rich.

So beyond disappointing to hear Governor @mikiesherrill.bsky.social talk about affordability and opportunity but make no mention of our most vulnerable populations - immigrants, incarcerated or formerly incarcerated people, and their children. And poverty? Did not hear that word once.

Ahead of Gov. Sherrill's first budget address, one thing is clear: NJ faces some serious fiscal challenges. Just saying... taxing super millionaires and closing corporate loopholes are fiscally responsible AND fair ways to help get NJ back on track. www.njpp.org/publications...

We applaud Governor Sherrill’s launch of an online portal that allows the public to see exactly where state funding goes, and for her continued commitment to a budget process that is fair, transparent & allows everyone to give timely input. Read full statement: www.njcitizenaction.org/state_budget

Instead of focusing on expenditures, lawmakers should look at the revenue side of the ledger to balance New Jersey's budget and help fix the structural deficit. "There are more revenues that can and should be raised,” said NJPP's @ptrchn1.bsky.social. newjerseymonitor.com/2026/02/26/g...

NJ’s budget is hiding 4 major time bombs and working families could pay the price. This is what happens when our tax system is upside down. We need fair, sustainable revenue that puts people first. Yes, that means taxing the rich. www.nj.com/news/2026/02...

Many would argue that the super-wealthy and big corporations who have fueled the affordability crisis should pay more in taxes, so New Jersey can afford to invest in healthcare, childcare, transit, education, and other programs that benefit everyone. newjerseymonitor.com/briefs/nj-se...

Already on our minds here in NJ 👋 Unfortunately.

NJ’s cash reserves look strong, but the budget is sitting on five ticking time bombs that threaten our ability to meet people’s needs. We can’t paper over structural problems. A fair budget means raising taxes on the wealthy and reining in tax breaks for the richest. www.njpp.org/publications...

All the political players are in Atlantic City this week, and so is our message! New Jersey is facing a fiscal crisis and we can’t afford to wait. Raising progressive revenue from billionaires is fair, sustainable, and popular!

Tell legislators: It is urgent that New Jersey enacts new progressive revenue and prioritize passage of this package of bills in lame duck. They are urgently needed to help protect the people of New Jersey and we can't afford delay.

From the NJEA Convention: educators know what’s at stake. A fair tax system that asks billionaires to contribute more means stronger schools, thriving communities, and a better future for all.

Here’s the headline: “Families who rely on food to survive are being held hostage because Congress gave tax cuts to billionaires.” More than 800,000 New Jerseyans depend on SNAP, including 340,000 children. They shouldn't suffer for Washington's dysfunction. newjerseymonitor.com/2025/10/28/r...

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

Dear New Jersey Lawmakers, Tax the rich. Sincerely, The For the Many Coalition

The cost of living keeps rising for working families while the wealthiest are doing better than ever. We can begin to address affordability in New Jersey by raising taxes on super millionaires and big corporations who just got a huge tax cut from Congress. www.nj.com/politics/202...

💯 this 👇

The federal shutdown isn’t abstract — 22,000 NJ workers are caught in it. The fight’s over healthcare, but the real backdrop is years of tax breaks for the wealthy while public services are starved. njbiz.com/nj-federal-s...

💰 The top 10% get perks worth 2.3% of their income. 💔 The poorest 10% would lose benefits worth 3.9% of their income. ⌛ Funny how the benefits for the wealthiest last forever, but fringe ones for everyone else come with an expiration date. www.nj.com/news/2025/09...

Taxing the rich is good policy in more fairly asking those who have accumulated the most wealth from our society to pay more. BUT an underappreciated additional benefit of taxing the rich is reducing the risk of an unaccountable wealthy class that evades basic societal rules.

Kids are heading back to school this week. Here’s a math problem for them: One millionaire gets an $80,000 tax cut. Q: How many people lose their health insurance? A: 4. www.cbpp.org/blog/republi...

🎉 VICTORY! In a unanimous vote, Passaic stabilizes rents at 3% and becomes the 5th city in NJ to eliminate vacancy decontrol! This new housing ordinance will impact more than 10,000 tenants, nearly half of the city’s renter population.  #PassaicTenants #RentersRising

Are rising food costs hitting your household budget? We're hearing that people across NJ are struggling to make ends meet, and new federal cuts will make life harder. Food banks and farmers may be doing all they can, but they can’t replace a strong safety net. www.nj.com/food/2025/08...

The truth is simple: affordable housing benefits everyone. Yet too often, policymakers sabotage NJ's economic resilience by under-funding affordable housing & blocking developments — deciding who belongs, and who doesn’t. Read Rev. Eric Dobson's op-ed: www.burlingtoncountytimes.com/story/opinio...

Theresa is a single mom of two kids with severe autism. Medicaid is how they survive. Her own Representative, Thomas Kean Jr., voted to cut it by $1 TRILLION. This is not fiscal responsibility. It’s cruelty, plain and simple. gothamist.com/news/trump-i...

We are facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations. On July 17th, five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, communities are mobilizing to ensure #GoodTroubleLivesOn and carry John Lewis’ legacy forward. Find an event near you! www.mobilize.us?country=US&d...

There is a time delay before the worst impacts hit New Jerseyans, but we're not going to forget what happened. Framed as a crackdown on “waste, fraud, and abuse,” the new law instead cuts key benefits, increases red tape, and raises costs for many families. newjerseyglobe.com/congress/now...

From @northjerseynews.bsky.social | Op-Ed: NJ’s officials must use mansion tax to restore affordable housing funds now by HCDNNJ President & CEO Staci Berger and Gateway CAP Executive Director Edward Bethea www.northjersey.com/story/opinio...

FLYING NOW: A massive banner over the Jersey Shore letting residents of the Garden State's 2nd congressional district know that Congressman Jeff Van Drew chose the billionaires over us. #TaxJustice

Cutting SNAP is like stealing candy from a baby (metaphorically!). But in all seriousness, for the FIRST TIME in the program's history, these cuts will shift cost to the states, and some kids are going to lose access to a critical life improving benefit.

We knew the budget outlook was bad — but it’s worse than we thought. This new report from @njpolicy.bsky.social shows how NJ’s FY26 budget deepens inequality, shortchanges public needs, and sets us up for a fiscal cliff. This isn’t governing. It’s deferring disaster.

This is worth repeating. Again and again and again. The needs of the people of New Jersey are not being met. When facing an affordable housing crisis, taking money away from the affordable housing fund to plug a budget hole lawmakers KNEW was coming, is not a solution.

Unless you're in the top 1%, the “Big, Beautiful Bill” probably hurts more than it helps. It adds trillions to the debt by cutting essential programs. Just to hand more wealth to those who need it the least?!? That’s bad fiscal policy and immoral. whyy.org/articles/big...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the Republicans' Big Disastrous Bill will not discriminate against party. Democrats, Republicans, and Independents will all feel the impact. 1/2

The Price of This Bill? Our Health and Our Future. After hours of backroom negotiations, Congress narrowly passed Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” by a final vote of 218–214. Our Response:

Four hours and still going, right now Minority leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is buying us time to make one more round of calls. Call your Representative right now: (877) 853-4144. This our last chance to tell them to kill the bill!
