Response to the Jersey City Council’s Comments at the 4/10/23 Caucus Meeting

Statement from the RTC JC Campaign Committee ahead of April 12th’s Council Meeting
“just like Medicare should be for All, Housing should also be for All. Radical change comes from the bottom-up, and we believe in policy that has been crafted with community input that meets need without any barriers in place.”
