Sherrill's Budget Slashes Hispanic Women's Centers
Description
Governor Mikie Sherrills new budget proposal slashes funding for Hispanic Womens Resource Centers by 80%, threatening services for thousands of Latinas in New Jersey. These centers, established in 1991, offer job training, financial workshops, and more, targeting Latinas facing the states second-worst wage gap. Advocates decry the cuts, citing rising needs due to tougher immigration enforcement. Lawmakers have until July 1st to tweak the budget, with past governors also cutting this program. The Latino Action Network warns the cuts undercut Sherrills stance against deportations, leaving families without quick help after detentions.
