Advance Equity and Justice in the FY26 State Budget

Act Now

Every year during the state budget process, New Jerseyans get a chance to urge our elected officials to put our money where our values are. That's health, rights, and justice for all. From providing legal representation to immigrants facing detention and deportation to increasing transparency and accountability in the cannabis community reinvestment process, we have ideas on how New Jersey can prioritize equity in the FY26 state budget.

This year, it’s more important than ever to ensure New Jersey builds a firewall against attacks by the Trump administration on our fundamental rights – and this requires funding. Tell your elected officials to allocate resources for the health, rights, and justice of all New Jerseyans – send a message today.

Subject

A state's budget is a declaration of its most pressing priorities. This year, it’s more important than ever that we use our state budget to ensure New Jersey builds a firewall against attacks on our fundamental rights by the Trump administration.

From providing legal representation to immigrants facing detention and deportation to increasing transparency and accountability in the cannabis community reinvestment process, I urge you to put taxpayer money where our values lie: health, rights, and justice for all.

Message Body

By allocating funding for these programs, New Jersey can set a national example by building a state budget that centers equity and racial justice, and truly invests in our communities.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate Salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
