Bloomfield Temple Has Forum On Immigrants, Driver Licenses: WATCH

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — A coalition of grassroots groups held a public forum on immigration rights at Temple Ner Tamid in Bloomfield earlier this week.

The Feb. 5 event – “Driving in Fear: An Immigrant’s Dilemma” – featured a panel of experts who spoke about pending New Jersey legislation, A4743/S-3229, which would give qualified undocumented residents access to a driver’s license.

Event co-sponsors included Faith in New Jersey, the Montclair Interfaith Clergy Association, the Reform Voice of New Jersey, Let’s Drive NJ and Make the Road NJ.
