This Thursday, Feb 27th at 5:30pm at Jersey City Hall (280 Grove St) Here’s some homework for Jersey City folks on bluesky, talk to your neighbors and let them know about this rally! Print out KYR materials and share them on your block. No action is too small! ✊🏽

📢 Hudson County DSA, @32bjseiu.bsky.social, and Cosecha NJ will be holding a rally standing with our immigrant neighbors. 🗓️ Thursday, February 27th at 5:30 p.m. 📍 In front of Jersey City Hall – 280 Grove St.

I’m distraught that ICE is ramping up efforts in Jersey City. However, it’s time to act- this Thursday at 5:30pm at Jersey City Hall come stand in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors. Come one, come all! No action is too small! hudsoncountyview.com/letter-ice-d...

Jersey City is a union town! Hope to see my JC folks tomorrow! 🙌🏾

Resistance is a marathon, not a sprint, and it’s important to practice self-care. That’s why I’m really looking forward to our all-levels-welcome yoga event with @houseofhorus.bsky.social in downtown Jersey City! Space is limited; RSVP today at secure.actblue.com/donate/febyoga

I've been sharing a lot of info about who to call on the NJ Immigrant Trust Act. I made a google doc to try and make it easier. Feel free to use the link and tailor the script to fit your needs. Feedback is always welcome and appreciated docs.google.com/document/d/1...

3 NJ Senators became sponsors of the Immigrant Trust Act (Bill #S3672/A4987) on Fri: - Sen Linda Greenstein - Sen Britnee Timberlake - Sen Troy Singleton We're at 14 out of 40 NJ senators who publicly support. Keep calling, keep the emailing, keep the pressure up! action.aclu.org/send-message...

Some of our earliest supporters at JCMAS were the pro transit/cyclist community in JC. Help us return the favor with @hudcostreets.org campaign for more frequent off peak PATH trains by signing their petition. We are always stronger when we take action TOGETHER! hudcostreets.org/panynj/action

The future of Hudson County politics looks bright to me ☀️

As we bid a sad farewell to the Jersey Journal, I was honored to be able to speak with journalist Teri West on the state of machine politics and the progressive movement in Hudson County as part of their “Final Words” series: www.nj.com/hudson/2025/...

Hey hey is there anyone here who is: 1. In Jersey City 2. Speaks at least enough Spanish to get through a basic convo 3. Is familiar with food delivery apps like UberEats, etc? I’m trying to help out a local business owner and would love your help if so!

Tomorrow I’ll be joining @studentsforsci.bsky.social in talking to Sen Booker’s Office to vote no on RFK Jr’s nomination. We can’t have someone so inherently inept on vaccines and medical sciences be in charge of the Department of Health and Human Services!

Make those calls! Leave a message tonight Senator Booker: Newark: (973) 639-8700 Camden: (856) 338-8922 D.C.: (202) 224-3224 Senator Kim Jersey City: (973) 645-3030 Barrington: (856) 757-5353 D.C.: (202) 224-4744

Heads up! The @aclu.org Immigrant Rights Project has an EXCELLENT online resource available in multiple languages to walk immigrants or advocates through various scenarios of encounters with immigration officials or police. It includes contact #s for local ACLU offices. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

We stand by anyone targeted by these warrantless raids made possible by the Trump administration's xenophobic and racist policies, and applaud Mayor @rasjbaraka.bsky.social who noted that among the detainees was a military veteran. ow.ly/18a550UMgXv

In case you didn’t know- this is an official @eleanalittle.bsky.social stan account! I’m happy to host a meet and greet at my home on Sunday, Jan 26th from 4-6pm in support of Eleana as she’s on the campaign trail for City Council! bit.ly/eleana1-26

Grateful to have been surrounded by so many of our neighbors 🙌🏾

Onto this new chapter! There’s never a perfect timing for everything so here I go launching my consulting business Ghainda Strategies!

Also don’t forget to register for the meetings if you can attend!!!

Almost at 3,000 letters sent! Let’s keep sending those letters!!!

Blessing the feed with a live view of Whiskers perched on top of my Yugioh collection 😂

Courtney’s deep-dive into Hudson County’s turnout tells two tales: 1. Our County Party isn’t too keen on turning out new voters. 2. Hudson County’s voter turnout continues to be historically low. Civic engagement and changing the discourse for 2025 will definitely be pivotal, especially in JC.

As Vice Chair for Beyond The Ballot I’m proud to stand by the work we’re doing. We’re not just the typical lip-service, we’re genuinely organizing to empower the working-class. If you want to support Gen- Zer’s who are organizing their communities donate here: www.beyondtheballot.org/donate

I went to jog at Lincoln Park this week, I’m 3/3 for almost getting run over at Mallory and Communipaw 😵‍💫 Also 3/3 in attempting to jog around the whole park 🥹

Since no one on here is from my old job- cat’s outta the bag, I’m no longer with NJLCV. I’m taking the time to recover from burning out, and supporting some awesome folks running in 2025, and finding my next passion project. Also, here’s a pic from the Friends of Liberty State Park 5k :)

I’m so happy my friend @eleanalittle.bsky.social is running in Ward E! Also glad I could be in the launch video!!!

Jersey City folks! Here’s a coat drive sponsored by the JC LGBTQ Alliance and JCMAS. Please share!
