Building Youth Power: MRNJ’s youth organizing group is a force to be reckoned with – hundreds of immigrant, Black and Latinx youth have joined the organization, led successful campaigns for:
- Winning Financial Aid for New Jersey Dreamers and Undocumented Youth.
- Including youth in the $15 minimum wage increase.
- Fighting back against DACA’s repeal
- Winning a Student Success Center – a peer lead college prep program – the first of its kind in New Jersey.
