WASHINGTON, DC – This Friday, Congressman Donald Norcross (NJ01) will join a bipartisan Congressional delegation to visit Selma, Alabama and mark the 50^th anniversary of the historic civil rights march that ultimately led to the Voting Rights Act. The pilgrimage will be led by Congressman John Lewis of Georgia, a leader in the Civil Rights Movement. 

The Congressional Civil Rights Pilgrimage to Alabama first started in 1998 and this year’s trip will include the largest group of lawmakers ever. The delegation will visit civil rights landmarks in Birmingham, Montgomery, and Selma before joining President Barack Obama to mark the 50^th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, when state troopers attacked marchers trying to cross Edmund Pettus Bridge into Alabama’s capital. The trip serves as a constant reminder of the painful history that called for and led to the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Assemblyman Gilbert \”Whip\” Wilson of New Jersey’s 5^th Legislative District will join Congressman Norcross.

The Christie Administration has secured nearly $11.5 million in federal grant funds to support home visitation services to help at risk families with an array of health and social services, the commissioners of the New Jersey Department of Children and Families (DCF) and the New Jersey Department of Health (DOH) announced today.

A total of $11.5 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) will support the continuation and expansion of the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program in New Jersey.

It can be a company’s worst nightmare—the discovery that hackers have infiltrated their computer networks and made off with trade secrets, customers’ personal information, and other critical data.

When such intrusions happen—and unfortunately, they occur frequently—the FBI can respond with a range of investigative assets, including the little-known Cyber Action Team (CAT). This rapid deployment group of cyber experts can be on the scene just about anywhere in the world within 48 hours, providing investigative support and helping to answer critical questions that can quickly move a case forward.

\”Our goal is to provide information that can be actioned immediately,\” said Special Agent Chris Lamb, a CAT member since 2007. \”A lot of the evidence in a cyber intrusion may only be there for a little while,\” he said. \”The trail can get cold pretty quickly.\”
