“The time is now our elected official show the people of New Jersey that are placed above wealthy campaign donors and political ambitions,” the clergy coalition said in a statement. “We need public servants who give the people of New Jersey hope and faith in our system of government. The present court room of the street where trial and sentencing are carried out must move from our communities back to its proper place, the court house. Now is the time to show that despite funding gaps we, as a community that mutually affirms the dignity of all people, value life more than politics as usual. - NJ Clergy Coalition for Justice

Thank you Senate President Steve Sweeney, Senator Shirley K. Turner and Senator Sandra Bolden Cunningham for answering the call of the NJ Clergy Coalition for Justice to introduce legislation for an independent prosecutor to handle investigation and prosecution of crime involving death caused by law enforcement officer. Together we can work toward re-establishing the community’s trust in our justice system. Thank you the ACLU of New Jersey, NAACP and NOBLE- Northern NJ Chapter for your support.
