Nor would I have believed that I would have the honor of pursuing a calling that feeds my soul—at this critical moment in time—with my mighty @NJ_ISJ team & trustees, partners & friends. Thankfully, my belief wasn’t a prerequisite. I am grateful to God for this 9th anniversary.
“I’m going to do something in your days that you wouldn’t believe, even if you were told.” Hab. 1:5 As a Manual High student, Thurgood Marshall inspired me to become a civil rights lawyer. I wouldn’t have believed it if I were told then, when I didn’t know any, I’d become one.
Tomorrow marks 9 years of @RyanPHaygood's grace, generosity and genius leading the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice. We could go on (and we have) about all he means to us and New Jersey - but why have all the fun? Please share your favorite memory of Ryan!
If NYPD is openly harassing a media professional and attorney simply because I outperformed the mayor in an interview, one can only imagine how they treat everyday citizens who critique them. It’s no wonder we paid $121 million on police misconduct settlements last year.
End of the line celebrations! Thank you to the many dedicated researchers, advocates, & organizers who struggled for years to give NJ voters a true choice & candidates a level playing field. I hope to see more young/ women/ minority/ working class candidates in the years to come.
To be clear, Judge Zahid Quraishi's order for office block ballots includes all offices, including the county committee. No lines or columns.
The county line in NJ is a sophisticated form of voter suppression. On behalf of @SandSJ_NJ, @LWVNJ, @NJPolicy & @NJAIJ, we urged a federal court to stop NJ from using the antidemocratic county line in the 6/24 primary elections & 11/24 general election: njisj.org/wp-content/upl…
“You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.” —Malcolm X Malcolm X was murdered on this day in 1965. We must carry on his legacy. #BlackHistoryMonth
May I address the law nerds in the room for a minute? Chemerinsky -- like Erwin Chemerinsky who wrote your constitutional law casebook Chemerinsky -- just called my book, The Originalism Trap, "magnificent" and I might actually cry 🥹 🥲 penguinrandomhouse.com/books/735353/t…
On a day where many will honor the great John Lewis, @ASWReyJackson and @NJSenTurner have truly commemorated his legacy by sponsoring the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of New Jersey (A904/S2352). Our vote is sacred, and we must protect it now. #NJVRANow #OurVoteOurPower
Honored to be apart of this project and share my ideas on what mutual aid is and why it is important as an abolition principle and praxis.

No one’s credit should be ruined just because they get sick. NJ policymakers can ensure this never happens by banning the reporting of all medical debt, writes Laura Waddell and Beverly Brown Ruggia in their latest op-ed with #NJSpotlight ow.ly/xhhh50QtzRI

NJ Reparations Council: Organized religion supported slavery | NJ Spotlight News | THIRTEEN - New York Public Media thirteen.org/programs/nj-sp…
Clip of MLK's 1961 interview with the BBC on facing and overcoming his loneliness and fears, and moments when he feels a sense of inadequacy.
Before you start to read Dr. King into your ideological framework--don't. Take him at his word and respect his analysis as he presented it. We don't need to slap a label on him to respect that he abhorred war, imperialism, and racial domination and loved mankind.
Today, let us remember Martin Luther King as he TRULY was: A Black radical anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, revolutionary Christian internationalist who was deemed an enemy of the State and assassinated for his radical work. Just about everything else is a lie.
Honored to join the audience this morning.
The Multicultural Center is hosting a MLK Holiday Breakfast on January 15, "Leading Onward: Elevating New Voices for Justice and Equality" to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In addition you'll enjoy a livestream from the Minneapolis Convention Center.
