Today, a number of organizations representing a wide variety of causes and communities came together to spotlight the real-world harm Michiganders have endured during President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office. Speakers detailed how federal policies have undercut rural infrastructure, stoked fear in immigrant families, eroded constitutional rights, weakened environmental safeguards, and dismantled workplace safety.
No matter what spin Donald Trump puts on the damage he is doing to everyday Michiganders, we know the truth.
Every person and community deserves to feel safe and have their rights protected. we encourage everyone to know and understand their rights.
Matt Maddock’s latest conspiracy is pushing an agenda that’s literally just Betsy DeVos’ education plans on steroids.
A majority of Michigan voters overall support expanding Rx Kids, a financial assistance program for pregnant Michiganders and families with infants.
Instead of working to lower costs, protect the rights of their constituents, and ensure our communities can breathe clean air and drink clean water, Michigan’s congressional Republicans voted to strip tens of thousands of Michigan voters their right to vote by adding even more red tape to a constitutionally protected freedom.
These extreme proposals will do nothing but unnecessarily burden voters—especially voters with disabilities, rural voters, elderly voters, and voters of color—and roll back the progress we’ve made. Every voter has the right to make their voice heard and we will fight to keep it that way.”
It’s a day that ends in ‘y’ so naturally Michigan State Representative Josh Schriver has tweeted a racist dog whistle and House Speaker Matt Hall is ignoring it.
According to Progress Michigan’s latest Lake Effect poll, Michiganders are decidedly unhappy with how House Republicans have chosen to spend their first couple of months in the majority. The following statement can be attributed to Sam Inglot, executive director of Progress Michigan:
“Michigan MAGA Republicans have been back in the House majority for less than three months, and Michiganders are already sick of their twisted priorities and dangerous policy agenda. Instead of supporting public schools, Matt Hall and company are doubling down on the perennially unpopular DeVos-backed scheme to defund public education in order to expand private and charter schools that the wealthy can profit off of.
