The battle of Trenton was a flagship call to action for us: not only was it our first, but it is still one of the biggest, year-to-date. We saw over 80,000 emails sent to legislators and thousands of phone calls made to stop the removal of New Jersey advocates’ religious exemptions. With the nation watching minute by minute, we saw New Jersey advocates defeat the bill and keep their religious exemptions!
