Had a great time at yesterday’s Puerto Rican Festival in Perth Amboy! Thanks for the warm welcome and to El Comité Patriótico Cultural Puertorriqueño for hosting.

Platitudes did not create Newark’s progress. Action did. The collective brainpower of our people delivered these results. Let them underestimate us. This is how we win! Vote #RasForGovernor, tomorrow - June 10th. youtube.com/shorts/p...

Honored to have support from ‪@progressivevictory.win‬ in this fight to take back our democracy. Let’s keep this going! #RasForGovernor #June10

I spent the afternoon in Tewksbury with committed Democrats who refuse to let our democracy slip away. We need a leader who will fiercely protect the Constitution and build an economy that leaves no one behind. On June 10, let’s vote Ras Baraka for real change. #RasForGovernor

Atlantic City did not disappoint. Thank you to everyone who showed up to get the word out. We have three more days. Lets finish out strong!

Union County brought incredible energy today. Meeting residents who demand fair housing, strong schools, and real opportunity inspires me to keep pushing forward. #RasForGovernor #June10

There was so much support in Jersey City. Thank you to everyone who showed up for #TeamBaraka. We’ll see you at the polls!

Big crowd in Lawrence Township and only a few days left until June 10th. Lets take this all the way!

Just had a great conversation with @democracynow. Stay tuned.

Thank you to all the new folks in Maplewood for showing up and showing out - this is what a movement looks like, New Jersey!

Holding bullies accountable isn’t about revenge, it’s about making sure they don’t do it again.

No one is above the law. No one gets to trample our Constitutional rights to score political points. Not in New Jersey, not in America.

Thank you, Joy-Ann Reid, for having me on your show. youtube.com/watch?v=...

Today I filed a federal lawsuit against Alina Habba and DHS Agent Ricky Patel for false arrest, malicious prosecution, and defamation. They abused their power to violently arrest me at Delaney Hall despite being invited inside. No one is above the law.

Here’s where we’ll be this week. Follow along, show up, and be part of the movement. The road to June 10 runs through every block, every community, and every conversation. This link is updated daily - maps.app.goo.gl/wDvH... #TeamBaraka

Had a great time at the Garden State Equality Gala. Thank you to ‪@gardenstateequality.org‬ for hosting and inviting me.

We have to put the public back in public safety. That means addressing root causes like poverty, housing insecurity, lack of healthcare access, and educational inequity. Appreciate the conversation, @VanLathan.

Just wrapped a great interview with the @joebuddenpodcast.bsky.social crew. Stay tuned.

Sat down with @vanlathan.bsky.social today. Thanks for having me.

Big energy at yesterday's Tour of Somerville bike ride. Filled with New Jersey pride. Thanks for having me!
