#kansas voters have spoken.  The majority has spoken.  The overturning of #roevwade is NOT the will of the people.  It is unamerican, unpatriotic, inhumane and an extremist perspective.  #vote

I attended this meeting last night. This new Moderate Party they want to introduce under "Fusion Voting" would list Tom Malinowski as their candidate on the ballot. This way Republicans would "feel better" about voting for him...not as a Democrat, but as a Moderate. If you REALLY want to save democracy, how about Ranked Choice Voting which would provide 3rd party candidates a more fair chance at winning and final break this failed 2 party system. BTW, I am on the ballot for CD7 as an Independent working class woman who supports RCV. I also am the only candidate that supports M4A, while Tom Malinowski continues to advocate for the ACA, which 9 out of 10 CANNOT afford in our state. It creates debt and raises taxes. I also applied for he NJWFP endorsement and have been told "no" by Sue Altman...who decides on endorsements...membership or leadership? Also, who is paying the legal fees to fight for fusion voting in this state and maybe that money would be better spent on truly fighting for NJ working families....

Today we marched for our independence.  Freedom to choose what happens to our bodies.  Thanks to @outmontclair for giving @ppmnj a ride on the Pride float!  Friends and neighbors marching together in unison was a glorious sight to behold.  #roevember2022 can’t come soon enough.  #roevwade #equalrights #loveislove #womensrightsarehumanrights #wfphighlight
