ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Debra Salters
WHERE I COME FROM
Born and bred in the Historic City of Newark, New Jersey. Newark is the City that runs through my blood. My non-profit "Newark One Ward Wide" was created because I am everywhere for everyone. I love the community work that I am able to do. Saving Lives is my passion and stretches from children to adults. I am actively helping to resolve our homeless situation along with providing clothing and food. I have partnered with Hope Over Hurt, a local non-profit organization with ties to Houston, Texas. With their support we were able to help residents stock up on food during the inflation. You can also find me at our City Council meetings advocating for our right to live.
A THRIVING CAREER
I am a self-employed CPR AED Life Trainer, OSHA 30 Trainer (construction), educator, mentor, tutor, life coach...I do it all! I spend a majority of my time as a Community Activist. During my activism I helped lead a successful protest for our lead stricken water and participated in the successful lawsuit against the Mayor to acknowledge the crisis with our water.
I fight for equal and fair housing, livable wages, habitable living conditions, fair taxes for our seniors and homeowners, residential parking and our children.

MISSION STATEMENT
Saving Our Children
It is imperative that we engage our children and connect with them on a level that they know we genuinely care and are concerned about their future. I am investing in their NOW! NOW is the time that we roll up our sleeves and get the work done that is required of us for our children. NOW is the time that we hold every person in position of power over our educational system accountable. NOW is the time that we no longer stay silent while our children are being mistreated and harassed. NOW is the time to actually do the work that is being claimed to be done. NOW is the time to stand up for the voiceless....Our Children. Today we have youth sitting in Juvenile Detention Centers for stealing cars and other crimes. What is being done? If not NOW then When? If not ME, then who?
