Take Action: Tell your legislators to vote 'NO!' on Gov. Christie's budget when it comes up for a vote!

We have just a few days to convince our legislators to stand up to Gov. Christie and say 'NO!' to a budget that cuts billions in services and asks nothing of the wealthy.

ON MAY 22, WE MADE HISTORY

A coalition of 128 groups organized the largest rally in the history of the state to say NO to cuts for vital services and YES! to restoring the millionaires' tax our coalition fought for and won last year. Over 35,000 attendees including tenants, seniors, students, parents, union members, people with disabilities, and activists from every corner of the state came together to deliver a simple message and plan for real shared sacrifice to Governor Christie and the legislature.
