VICTORY VOTE STOPPED NJ Bill A2218/S2260 Will Silence Free Speech, Endanger Children

Victory! 

For now.

Thank you—your voices delayed S2260/A2218 today! 🙏

Due to strong grassroots pressure from NJ families, faith communities, and advocates like you, the bill was pulled from today's Assembly vote. This is a testament to persistent advocacy for free speech, parental rights, and child protection.

However, the threat remains. Legislators are actively working on amendments as we speak. The bill's intent is unchanged:

• Create "shield zones" that criminalize or sue peaceful prayer, protest, sidewalk counseling, and documentation near facilities.

• Protect providers of abortion and gender-affirming care (including puberty blockers and surgeries for minors) from scrutiny and accountability.

• Undermine parental rights and interstate cooperation in protecting children.

Even amended, this legislation is unconstitutional, chills First Amendment rights, and prioritizes ideology over evidence-based science and "Do No Harm." It aims to make people afraid to speak truth and protect the vulnerable.

Immediate Action Needed:

• Contact your Assembly members today and this week — urge them to vote NO on any version of S2260/A2218.

• Demand full public hearings and transparency on proposed amendments.

• Share this alert with your networks.

Protected Families. Strong Garden State. True Freedom. We will not be silenced.
