Undocumented workers organized by Make the Road New Jersey are in the third week of their hunger strike that demands financial stimulus relief for immigrant workers like themselves.
My organization, Partners for Women and Justice, calls on Gov. Phil Murphy to take action now to ensure that ALL New Jersey families can recover from COVID-19 economic fallout.
COVID-19 has unleashed a shadow pandemic of domestic violence and has devastated low-income immigrant survivors. Unemployment, COVID infections and deaths, insecure housing, and hunger have especially harmed these families and escalated violence for those in abusive relationships. The disqualification of immigrants from stimulus funds and unemployment benefits has limited victims’ opportunities to leave.
