CWAers in New Jersey Help Host (and Pack the Room for) Governor Candidate Forum

We had a huge turnout on March 2 for the Build and Defend NJ Gubernatorial Forum, moderated by NJ Senator Andy Kim. CWA teamed up with several other labor and community organizations to put on the event with gubernatorial candidates Ras Baraka, Steve Fulop, Mickie Sherril, and Sean Spiller. 

The next four years will be crucial in protecting the rights of all New Jerseyans, and working families deserve to know who will fight in their best interests as their next Governor. This forum was a great opportunity to hear from candidates on several of the most pressing issues that our members in NJ face, including:

• Protecting and funding vital services
• Lowering healthcare costs
• Expand voting rights and making our elections more fair
• Protecting public worker pensions
• Fighting against the rollback of workplace protections
