We are deeply disappointed that the Assembly and the Senate have voted to pass S2866/A4372. New Jersey needs real transparency for dark money, but not at the cost of gutting anti-corruption and campaign finance rules, and undermining ELEC's independence.

We're in Trenton today with our friends & asking lawmakers to vote NO on A4372 the ironically named Election Transparency Act. It increases dark money in politics, undermines checks & balances, & guts local pay-to-play ordinances. Wrong for NJ democracy!

STOP DIRTY MONEY 🛑
NJ lawmakers are voting on A4372 TOMORROW. This Dirty Money bill will:
❌ double contributions limits
❌ gut anti-corruption laws
❌ weaken the election watchdog agency
We can't let that happen. Email your Assemblymembers NOW: bit.ly/stopdirtymoney

Members of the For the Many NJ coalition testified at the Senate Budget hearing today to urge lawmakers to prioritize New Jersey's working families — not big corporations.
Trickle down tax cuts won't fund the vital public services New Jersey's families need.

NJ senate passed S2866 even tho NOBODY has testified for it & there is rare unity in opposing it
"At committee hearings, many activists & grps indicated opposition to the measure, &— at least recently — nobody has testified in favor... The oppo has come from the left & right."

Senate Bill 2866 is up in the Senate.
Speaking eloquently, , describes how the bill allows more money in politics and overturns the checks and balances between the executive and the legislature in the appointment of ELEC commissioners.
