## Resource

New Jersey’s Senate just unanimously passed a groundbreaking bill to crack down on political violence, introducing a new charge for crimes fueled by political beliefs — with harsher penalties attached to serious offenses like murder or assault. Lawmakers argue this is vital to safeguard democracy and protect free expression, especially after recent targeted attacks. Though the Senate’s approval is a major win, the bill still faces hurdles in the Assembly, where it’s stalled without a Democratic co-sponsor. With time running out before the session ends, advocates hope the governor will sign it into law — sending a powerful message that politically motivated violence won’t be tolerated.
