What is a reformation movement?


Reformation movements, are driven by collective efforts, aim to bring significant societal, political, or institutional changes. They often involve advocating for policy reforms, challenging established norms or practices, and seeking to address systemic issues or inequalities. These movements may focus on various areas such as education, healthcare, social justice, environmental policy, and governance. Their primary goal is influencing public opinion, engaging with decision-makers, and driving meaningful change in the targeted area. https://www.britannica.com/event/Reformation


First Amendment of the United States Constitution



As citizens of these United States, African Americans have First Amendment Rights. These rights empower citizens with the right to protest for advocacy for others (which African Americans are good at) and for themselves if they witness an adverse change or interference that causes harm and disenfranchisement to themselves and their population. The First Amendment protects the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the right to assemble, and the right to petition the government to redress grievances. These rights empower citizens to protest and express their viewpoints without government or criminal agencies interference peacefully.


The relaunched Echo, NJ's oldest Black-owned newspaper, has put together an advocacy reformation campaign to address Sanctuary Movement Reformations in New Jersey. Our campaign is "Setting the Record Straight: Advocating for Sanctuary Movement Reformation in New Jersey."  


Our summary statement below concerning said citizen's request for Sanctuary Movement Reformations is in direct connection with the lack of access to housing, including federal housing plus other lifesaving resources paid for by American citizens' tax dollars, which have disappeared for citizen usage, along with other resources, plus protections that seem to illude citizens, which is unfair.



In order to help make positive change in your community, town, or state, Black citizens plus Black churches are going to have to boldly address these serious crisis issues of homelessness of their fellow Black citizens with children or without children. With whom said Black citizens, young and old, should have just as many rights plus opportunities (if not more) to have a place to call home as insource workers and their families do these last 50 years. But just like anything, nothing will happen if you do not say anything. And I think Black babies don't deserve that sort of hate coming from their families, community members, or state plus local policymakers. Please feel free to review the entire proposal and share it with friends and family members who might be interested in assisting with bringing homes back to Black citizens who were adversely affected by the overpopulation crisis that the Sanctuary Movement has caused in New Jersey.


Summary 

Setting the Record Straight: Advocating for Sanctuary Movement Reformation in New Jersey, submitted by Karen Brittingham-Edmond of Echo News T.V. L.L.C.


Advocating for Sanctuary Movement Reformation is crucial to address the negative impact on citizens and communities. The overcrowding of Sanctuary Cities has led to citizen displacement, increased drug use, fatalities, social service resource depletion, citizen abduction, gentrification, and environmental pollution. These issues stem from the lack of full and truthful consultation with citizens, resulting in the need for policy reform. It is essential to hold American states and cities accountable and protect citizens. Specifically, addressing the impact on Black communities in New Jersey is paramount, as Sanctuary Movement mandates have overridden citizenship rights and contributed to racial tensions. This campaign aims to empower citizens to advocate for legal protection and enforce federal laws prioritizing American citizens. By addressing the adverse effects of overcrowding and advocating for monetary policy change plus psychological resources, we can promote healing resilience and bring about a reversal of damaging policies. It is time to put an end to the harmful impact of the Sanctuary Movement and prioritize the well-being and rights of American citizens.

The relaunched Echo is seeking assistance from lobbyists, and here's why. Lobbyists play a crucial role in assisting reformation movements in making their requests come true by advocating for specific policy changes or reforms to lawmakers and government officials. Advocacy groups, businesses, or organizations often hire lobbyists to represent their interests and influence the legislative process. Here's how lobbyists can help reformation movements: https://www.hubdialer.com/blog-post/inspiring-advocacy-campaign-examples/


1. Expertise and Knowledge: Lobbyists often have deep expertise and knowledge of the legislative process, government operations, and policy issues. They can provide valuable insights into navigating complex legislative procedures and identify opportunities for reform.


2. Building Relationships: Lobbyists build relationships with lawmakers, government officials, and key decision-makers. By leveraging these relationships, they can effectively communicate the goals and priorities of reformation movements and advocate for policy changes directly to those in power.


3. Strategic Advocacy: Lobbyists develop strategic advocacy plans tailored to the specific goals of reformation movements. They can advise on the most effective messaging, timing, and tactics to maximize the impact of advocacy efforts.


4. Drafting Legislation: Lobbyists can assist in drafting legislative language and policy proposals that reflect the priorities of reformation movements. They work closely with lawmakers to ensure that proposed reforms are clear, actionable, and aligned with the movement's objectives.


5. Coalition Building: Lobbyists can help reformation movements build coalitions and partnerships with other stakeholders, advocacy groups, or organizations with similar reform goals. By uniting various voices and resources, lobbyists can strengthen the movement's influence and amplify its impact.


6. Advocacy Campaigns: Lobbyists may also support reformation movements by organizing advocacy campaigns, mobilizing public support, and engaging in grassroots efforts to demonstrate broad-based backing for proposed reforms.


Lobbyists play a critical role in translating reformation movements' requests into tangible policy changes. They utilize their expertise, relationships, and advocacy skills to navigate the legislative process and drive meaningful reform. This is why the relaunched Echo will be reaching out to significant Black Instituitions plus allies to assist us in gaining advocacy for the sake plus protection of our people.



In closing

We urge you to actively support Echo News T.V. L.L.C. Legislative Plus Community Advocacy Campaign with whom advocate for, argue for, and culturally share the grievances of numerous American citizens Black, Brown, or White who have become homeless or worse due to the negative impacts of the Evangelical and Christian Coalitions Sanctuary Movement, which does not prioritize citizens' rights and protections foremost.
