Rep. LaMonica McIver

@marcelias.bsky.social asked me why I keep going, why I am not capitulating. My answer is simple: the people I represent. Love for my neighbors. The future I want for my nine-year-old daughter.  I would not be comfortable staying out of this fight.

I joined @democracydocket.com this week to discuss how this moment of crisis requires political courage. I was elected to serve the people of New Jersey’s 10th to give them a seat at the table—no matter who the president is.

Babies dying of malnutrition, people gunned down waiting for rations—the forced starvation in Gaza must end now. The Israeli government must restore the flow of aid and allow its safe distribution. This slide into famine pulls us farther from the goals of lasting peace.
