Sen. Shirley Turner

Affordable housing is one of our state’s greatest needs and finding those options can often be challenging. Today, @PhilMurphyNJ signed into law a bill I sponsored w/@stevesweeneynj to require listings of affordable housing units to be made available @ NJ Housing Resource Center.

On May 25, 2020, George Floyd became another African American man to die at the hands of a police officer using excessive force. Six years earlier, Eric Garner suffered the same fate, while also pleading to officers, “I can’t breathe.” #BlackLivesMatter #BLM #icantbreathe

Feeling great pride for my people at today’s peaceful protests in Trenton and Lawrence in support of Black Lives Matter and the fight to overcome 400 years of institutional and systemic racism through change in public policy, accountability and transparency. 🙌🏾 💪🏾 🧡

Another round of face mask distributions to make sure our most vulnerable family members are protected and to ensure that they can comply with the order to wear masks in the grocery store. Delivered with an extra dose of love 💗 and cheer 😁 with special messages on our bags.

A few pictures from our face mask distribution to protect our elderly in the senior buildings in Trenton. I had the pleasure of wishing two of our very special centenarians a Happy Birthday – one celebrating 101 years and the other an amazing 105 years.

In her latest oped, @NJSenTurner stresses the importance of access to contraceptives, during #COVID19 & beyond ow.ly/TZOx50zdZcU

The 15th legislative delegation got together today — with proper social distancing — at Trenton City Hall with Mayor Gusciora to package face masks for our senior citizens. The face masks will be distributed in our community to protect those who are most vulnerable to #COVID19.

A major achievement in the continuing fight for #affordability and #fairness for #NewJersey drivers.

May the new year bring joy, peace, health, and happiness to you and your family. Happy 2020!! 🥳 #happynewyear2020

17 years on the making, my bill to provide driver license suspension reforms was signed into law today. bit.ly/2PLvPxQ

Youth leaders thank @NJSenTurner for her leadership in sponsoring legislation that would ban the sale of flavored e-cigarettes. #FlavorsHookKidsNJ

It was a great turnout at the Male Empowerment Summit yesterday morning at @tesu_edu. So much great info was shared about helping our men of color be the best versions of themselves. Thank you to everyone who participated.

I am proud to sponsor S3799, which passed the Senate today 31-0. The ability to earn a living is a quality of life issue for some residents, and w/more people living and working longer, we need to establish protections to encourage a diverse, multi-generational workforce. @AARPNJ

@TrentonPublicSc kicked off the school year this week with students celebrating the grand opening of their state-of-the-art high school ✨Go Trenton Tornadoes! 🌪️🌪️@NewJerseyDOE @NJSenTurner @NJSenatePres @TCHS_Principal @gusciora

I joined @BrianLehrer this morning for a discussion on federal and state efforts to fight teen vaping. My bill S3265 would ban flavored e-smoking devices and products.

Grateful to organizations, such as @TASKsoupkitchen, that are helping in the fight against hunger and food insecurity. #HungerActionDay. #FightHunger

Thank you to @NJSenTurner for providing welcome remarks & leading a moment of silence in honor of all the victims of Sept. 11, 2001 & their family and friends at our 3Q Business Meeting today at @MercerCollege. #NeverForget911

It was great to be in #Lambertville today announcing the completion of the road diet project to make Route 29 safer for residents.

Great fun celebrating Puerto Rican culture and heritage in our capital city with Edwin Lebron, and @TrentonThunder Brian Navarrette. #PuertoRicanParade #TrentonNJ #community

Another exciting back to school event distributing book bags and supplies for the school year ahead. Thank you Fathers and Men United for a Better Trenton! #BacktoSchool
