NJSPAC hit the rails for an unforgettable Walk to Washington on February 6-7! With over 900 attendees, we joined the NJ Chamber of Commerce, New Jersey delegation on a sold-out chartered Amtrak train, heading straight to D.C. for an action-packed Congressional reception.

Victoria Williams, Chair (Junior League of Summit) and Cheryl Bear, Vice Chair (Junior League of Morristown) along with SPAC delegates from Elizabeth-Plainfield, Montclair-Newark, and Summit engaged with NJ state legislators, business leaders, and members of Congress—including Rep. Chris Smith, Rep. Tom Kean Jr., Rep. Mikie Sherrill, and Rep. Josh Gottheimer.

Our mission? Women leading and advocating for underserved communities by amplifying the fight against human trafficking, pushing for greater mental health access, advancing health equity, and tackling food insecurity.

From early morning breakfasts to late-night networking, we made our voices heard, exchanged ideas, and even heard from all eight gubernatorial candidates as they shared their platforms.

This was NJSPAC in action—connecting, advocating, and making a difference. #TheWalkIsBack #WalkToWashington #SPACAdvocacy #MakingAnImpact #NJSPAC #njchamber
