advocacy

Our young people don’t have much of a voice on their own. One part of our mission at Covenant House New Jersey is to represent the homeless street youth and to help them express themselves, making sure the decision makers at all levels of government and private industry consider the needs of these youth. Check back here often to see how you can help.

11-30-07: Take Action! Urge Speaker Joseph Roberts to Post Parity Legislation TODAY!

You can help make Mental Health and Addiction Parity a reality in this legislative session.

The General Assembly leadership has heard parity advocate voices but we're in a pitched battle with opponents who are working overtime to defeat and water down S-807/A-2512 in the final days of the current "lame duck" session.

We're almost there but each of us must ACT AGAIN TODAY. Urge Speaker Joe Roberts to make S-807/A-2512 a priority by posting it for a vote by the full General Assembly on December 13th, 2007 and also urge him to resist special interest efforts at defeating this legislation.
