Considering the recent election results, UUFANJ will, with the help of our individual congregations and ally organizations, be developing plans of action to minimize – if not neutralize – the impact of the policies expected of the incoming administration. Some of the ideas being considered:
- Organizing a rapid response team for rallies and protests, especially in Trenton
- Creating a candidate forum and/or questionnaire for the upcoming gubernatorial election to gauge where they stand on key issues.
- Supporting efforts to fast track the Immigrant Trust Act for passage by the end of December to hamper ICE. (Topic being addressed at the next 1st Friday on December 6.)
- Increasing support for Pink Haven by donating time and funds to help relocate Transgender individuals and families seeking refuge in NJ.
- Expanding the influence of our 1st Friday Action Hour program by increasing participation with the possibility of expanding it through different days or increasing its frequency.
