Team,
On March 28, during Women’s History Month, our Latino Caucus held a general meeting where they highlighted and celebrated the power of Latinas in Politics. The discussion, which took place virtually, featured Latino Caucus Chair Arlene Quiñones Perez, NJDSC Executive Director Saily Avelenda, and [[link removed]] Morris County Dems Chair Amalia Duarte.

Our Muslim Caucus advocates for the rights of Muslim communities across the State of New Jersey through legislative advocacy, education, and political support. Caucus members help inform the public about the struggles facing the Muslim community and lead citizens to take action at the state and local level. We are grateful to have Omar leading us forward, alongside Chair Sikandar Khan, into a more equitable future.
