For the first time in its 108-year history, the New Jersey State League of Municipalities’ conference this week hosted a panel of leaders from the state’s legislative Black, Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander caucuses to discuss their priorities. The event led by the state’s ACLU drew more than 100 leaders from a variety of municipalities and leadership positions.
“This is the first time that leaders from New Jersey’s caucuses of color got together to talk about what our collective agenda can be moving forward,” said Amol Sinha, executive director of the ACLU of New Jersey. “New Jersey is one of the most diverse states in the country and by the end of the decade will be a majority-minority state.”
