This budget season, we’re not only facing the usual fiscal issues at the state level — we’re staring down historic threats from Washington. With federal funding on the chopping block and lawmakers in Trenton clinging to the status quo, everyday New Jerseyans are left picking up the tab while the wealthy and connected cash in.
But it doesn’t need to be this way.
Join NJPP and partners for Budget & Brews 2025, a gathering of policy experts and advocates to explore the challenges facing New Jersey’s budget and discuss solutions that advance economic and racial justice. The event will feature insightful conversations on federal funding cuts, the impact on local communities, ongoing tax breaks for the wealthy, and how these issues shape the state budget.
Budget & Brews
Thursday, May 8 | 4:00 PM
