Excited to see this legislation from @RepKristianG that would require that Michigan local governments plan for housing in their master plans and that they specifically plan for housing of a diversity of incomes and types!

May is #AAPIHeritageMonth! @MIHouseDems have introduced legislation to update Michigan's hate crime laws for the first time since the 1980s, so Michiganders of all backgrounds feel safe and welcome in the Mitten. We also added #KorematsuDay as a state holiday!

Kent County’s decision to close our land bank has deprived core communities like Grand Rapids from having a local option for too long. Special thanks to @RepKristianG for shepherding this crucial piece of legislation! Onward to the Senate! crainsgrandrapids.com/news/r… – at Grand Rapids, MI

“Yesterday, the TN Republican-led General Assembly showed that its members will use unjust methods, flimsy evidence, and inconsistent rules to go to any lengths to attempt silencing Black members fighting for justice,” added MLBC Chairperson, @SenErikaGeiss (D–Taylor). #Tennesee3

If you believe that an AR 15 is worth more than a child you are an enemy of the American people That’s it. That’s the tweet.
If you want to ban AR-15s, you are an enemy of the Second Amendment. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

ICYMI: “If we are really and truly are going to be progressive and be a model for people around the county, we have to address the issues of our urban cores and the inequities that live there,” said @RepKGrant. mlive.com/news/2023/03/under…

So proud of my State Representative, @RepKGrant! 💗💪🏽
The first time I attended SOTS I was a guest of @WinnieBrinks watching @GovWhitmer give her first speech. I was there as GRPS board chair and I sat waaaay in the corner. Last night I was there as the first woman of color representing West MI at my own desk! What a change!

House Democrats unable to gather 56 votes to pass budget supplemental as Rep. Joey Andrews absent. He and wife celebrated the birth of their first born today. He is in route to Lansing now.

Yesterday, MI faith, political, & community leaders came together to end gun violence. With gun violence rampant in the U.S., we need to make a difference. As @RepKGrant said, "Keep speaking out. Keep organizing. Keep mobilizing." Help us mobilize at endgunviolencemichigan.org

I was honored to be in Grand Rapids tonight to celebrate @RepKGrant as she was sworn in as the first black woman to hold the office of State Representative in Kent County. All that she’s done for the 82nd district so far pales in comparison to what’s to come!
