WHY YOUR VOTE MATTERS

This election will impact our schools, students, and our communities. Candidates are running for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, all state legislator seats, and the Essex County Sheriff, who oversees certain aspects of the criminal justice system here in Newark. The leaders who emerge from this election will have a tremendous impact on the future of our communities and students.

Our participation in this election is our commitment to using our voice and our power. We have to engage with all structures that shape public education and other systems that impact life in our city, and those within our community are our best advocates.

Together, we can use our votes to speak out on the issues that matter most.
