A 2019 report detailed widespread and unreported misconduct, sexual harassment and assault in New Jersey politics. Now a video tutorial has been produced to let people working on campaigns or in the political sphere know that those behaviors won’t be tolerated. Paid for by the New Jersey State Bar Association Foundation, the 48-minute video is called “Creating Safe Workplaces in N.J. Politics.”
The video was based on findings of the report issued by the Workgroup on Harassment, Sexual Assault and Misogyny in New Jersey Politics, led by former state Senator Loretta Weinberg. Julie Roginsky, a member of the workgroup, said of the video, “…it’s a small step in a very long journey that includes stronger legislation, that includes stronger enforcement mechanisms, that includes stronger oversight to ensure that we finally have a place and space for women to thrive in political life in New Jersey.”
