    Due to the —420,000 federal workers will be forced to work without pay & another 380,000 federal workers will be sent home over the holidays without pay. ~5,000 NJ workers are affected. This was avoidable. Trump must reopen the government.

    The government shutdown that started Saturday affects 800,000 federal employees, who will either be furloughed or work without pay before Christmas. Follow live updates on the shutdown and its impacts:

    This is deeply concerning—the Violence Against Women Act, which provides critical resources for survivors of domestic violence & sexual assault, expired with the government shutdown. This must end.

    Don’t forget what else the means:

    One year ago today President Trump signed the GOP tax bill into law and claimed it would benefit working Americans. The facts prove otherwise—while corporations reaped billions, workers got scraps.

    Trump said he was “proud” to shut down the government—now hundreds of thousands of federal employees are being directly hurt by Trump’s shameful behavior. This must end.

    Why a government shutdown would be a : Candidate Trump promised Mexico would pay for his wall (they won’t) Then President Trump demands the US govt pay for it (we won’t) … And, oh yeah, *President Trump said he’d be “proud” to shut down the government.*

    If Trump shuts down the government over his wasteful border wall there will be real consequences for 1,000s of federal employees in NJ & across our country. More than 420,000 federal workers will work without pay & 380,000 will be furloughed ahead of the holidays. Unacceptable.

    Thank you, , for being a true force behind this legislation for so, so long. This is the sort of thing that people go to Congress to try to do. And do it you did. A huge milestone, and hopefully just the beginning in criminal justice reform.

    A BIPARTISAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM BILL JUST PASSED THE SENATE! This was years in the making. Thousands will obtain greater justice and new pathways to liberation as a result of this bill. This is just one step. This is just the beginning. The work must continue. Onward! ✨
