🚨 ACTION ALERT: BILL A4381-FULL ASSEMBLY MONDAY (12/22/25) 🚨

Bill A4381 is scheduled to be heard in the full New Jersey Assembly on Monday, 12/22/25 (last vote before it hits the Governor’s desk)

👉 This weekend is our last opportunity to contact your assemblyperson and urge opposition or meaningful amendments.

📌 What A4381 Does:
This bill would allow Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) to operate on New Jersey school property without:
• a public bidding process
• meaningful involvement or approval from local Boards of Education
• clear guardrails for community oversight

🩺 What Are FQHCs?
Federally Qualified Health Centers are federally funded medical clinics that:
• operate under federal rules and reimbursement systems
• are primarily funded through Medicaid and federal grants
• are not accountable to local school boards, parents, or voters

While FQHCs can serve important community health needs, placing them on school grounds without transparency or local control raises serious concerns.

📣 TAKE ACTION THIS WEEKEND
✔️ Email your Assembly members (link in bio & story)
✔️ Ask them to oppose A4381 or demand amendments
✔️ Request public bidding, local Board of Education involvement, and explicit parental consent safeguards
✔️ Share this post so families aren’t caught off guard

⏰ Time is short. Voices matter now.

🚨 NJ LEGISLATIVE UPDATE: BILL A4381 & NEW BLOG POST ALERT 🚨

On Monday, 12/15, Bill A4381 was advanced out of the Assembly State & Local Government Committee.

At first glance, this bill may look like a simple facilities change. In reality, it could allow medical providers to operate on public school property without clear guardrails for parental consent, local oversight, or transparency.

📌 We break down what the bill actually does, why it matters for families, and what comes next in the latest Substack post.

👉 READ & SHARE (link in bio)

📣 TAKE ACTION
✔️ Contact your local Assembly members
✔️ Ask where they stand on A4381
✔️ Request explicit parental opt-in consent and local control
✔️ Share this post so families stay informed

Public engagement now can shape what this bill becomes or whether it moves forward at all.

🗣️ Informed parents matter. Community voices matter.

📢 NJ Bill A4381 is moving through the Legislature and most parents haven’t even heard about it.

This bill would allow school property to be leased to federally qualified health centers WITHOUT competitive public bidding or transparency, raising serious questions about oversight, parental rights, and the future of our schools.

🚨 NEW SUBSTACK POST 🚨

Yesterday in Trenton, the Senate Health Committee combined and advanced the vaccine-governance bills, shifting authority/guidance away from federal ACIP standards and opening the door for private, pharma-funded organizations to shape NJ policy with no oversight.

This is a major change affecting every NJ family, school, college, healthcare setting, and long-term care facility.

I broke down exactly what happened, what the combined bill does, and why so many advocates showed up to testify.

Public health cannot be a partisan issue. It requires transparency, accountability, and public input, none of which this bill guarantees.

Something major happened yesterday in New Jersey and most parents don’t even know it yet.

Two memos were quietly released that reveal exactly how Bills S4894 and S4726 would reshape medical decision-making power in our state.

The cracks between ACIP and NJDOH guidance aren’t theoretical anymore… they’re right in front of us.

If you’re a parent who wants transparency, accountability, and a voice in what happens next, you must read this breakdown.

We don’t get to say “I didn’t know.”
But we DO get to take action. 💪

New Jersey: our voices 🗣️are strongest when we show up together.

We’re gathering in Trenton on Monday, December 8th for a statewide Lobby Day to stand for parental rights, medical freedom, and transparency in legislation.

The Senate Health Committee is voting on bills S4894 & S4726 that would significantly expand public-health authority by allowing broader immunization requirements and streamlined implementation processes, reducing the ability of families to opt out or challenge those mandates.
