URGENT is a watchdog organization in Garfield, New Jersey who has taken on social activism and taken the issues that concern us to the streets, the town meetings, newspapers, by way of speeches, rallys, marches, handwritten billboards, whatever it takes to get our concerns heard.
In the past year, these are the issues we have rallied about:
