The Vote by Mail applications changed last fall. Everyone who signed up with the new forms is set to vote by mail for all elections. Unfortunately, those who signed up with the old forms will have to reapply if they want to sign up for All Future Elections.
Contact your local county clerk ([link removed]) to find out if you are signed up to Vote by Mail, or go to the NJ elections site to download a Vote By Mail application ([link removed]) . You can also check out our Facebook post here ([link removed]) for more information.

Email your legislators and Governor Murphy through this link to ask them to support the ([link removed]) The New Jersey Youth Justice Transformation Act ([link removed]) .

** Good News in New Jersey
------------------------------------------------------------
* The Pam's List endorsements ([link removed]) are out and there are a lot of ATNJ endorsed candidates on there! Congratulations to Christine Clarke ([link removed]) and Laura Fortgang ([link removed]) in LD 26, Lisa Bhimani and Darcy Draeger ([link removed]) in LD 25 and Stacey Gunderman and Lisa Mandelblatt ([link removed]) in LD 21. There's also a lot of other great NJ Assembly candidates (including some ATNJ members) who made the list so take a look at the link above.
* Congratulations to LD 21 candidates Stacey Gunderman and Lisa Mandelblatt ([link removed]) for being endorsed by the Sierra Club ([link removed]) ! ATNJ already endorsed these great candidates and we think the Sierra Club made the right choice.
* The State of Alabama is attempting to leave some of it's residents off the census. If they do this, with this administration in power, it could be a slippery slope to other states following suit. New Jersey Attorney General Grewal does not want this to happen, so the State of New Jersey is taking the State of Alabama to court to make sure they follow the Census rules as laid out in the Constitution.

* Thanks to legislation signed this week, there will now be more public nursing rooms in New Jersey ([link removed]) for mothers to breastfeed in.
* Wind power is making good progress in New Jersey ([link removed])
* NJ is now expanding Medicaid to cover group prenatal care visits ([link removed]) , allowing more mothers to get the care they need during their pregnancy.
