I am so sorry this happened to you. Infuriating. FYI I am co-hosting an event with the NJ Attorney General on October 29th at 6pm to talk about the rise in hate crimes and bias incidents like this one and I think it may be helpful to hear more about the task forces they created to deal with this. It should be prosecuted under the new stricter bias crime reporting laws. NJ is on track to become one of the strictest states on hate crimes in the nation. There was also racist scratchiti in Glen Rock this week (n-word scratched into a stall) that it also being investigated. There was an arrest made of two teenagers for the transphobic graffiti at the Nectar Cafe in Glen Rock. Infuriating, and little comfort when something like this happens, but I just want people to know that we are demanding change and accountability and we are getting closer to getting it. I’d like to make a campaign contribution if you’re still accepting. ❤️
Thank you for your support. I know I can always count on my ladies to support me. It was definitely a scary and surreal experience! 😞😢
Amy Weiner, im so sorry this happened to you and Anthony. Hang in there, and good luck. We support you!
So sorry this happened to the two of you.
Amy Weiner This is so disturbing to me..I am so sorry that you had to experience such vile behavior. The longer I live in Bergen County the more racism and anti Semitic I see...Take care and best of luck in the election. 😞😡✌💙
Horrible. No place in our society for this ignorance. Any we support you! Go win this race!
