Resources for dealing with Covid-19

You already know to wash your hands and practice social distancing, but what about loss of wages and all the struggles that follow? Here's a list of resources for people in NJ who need help right now. 
 
We know you have a lot of other things on your mind right now, but did you respond to the Census yet? This will affect New Jersey for the *next 10 years*. Please don't forget to fill it out!

Take Action!

  • Sign this petition to release ICE detainees in New Jersey. "We call on our ICE and our county elected officials in Bergen, Essex and Hudson to push for a release of those detained at the county  jails on their own recognizance so that they can safely shelter in place with their families and reduce the spread of this dangerous pandemic."
     
  • If you're in the Union County general area, there is a group of people from various groups who have joined forces to help sew medical masks for the Atlantic Health System. They have been in touch with a doctor from AHS and these homemade masks will be used as needed so they can keep their dwindling supply of regular masks for the people who really need them. This is a secret Facebook group, so if you want to join, reply to this email and let us know who you are on Facebook and we'll get you added. 

    There's also a statewide group of sewers making these masks on this public Facebook group

    In addition, there's a group of people organizing homemade medical masks nation-wide. Information on how to join here
