Please join us for Lessons Learned from the Data Center Fightback, hosted by the Northern Michigan Alliance for Responsible Development, on Monday, August 10 at 6pm EDT.
We're calling bullshit on Trump's speech tonight. At 9 p.m. EDT, President Trump has a "big announcement," but we expect the same old lies and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.
New polling just dropped! Most Michiganders agree that health insurance claims should not be denied by AI.
Voting is underway in Michigan for the August 4 primary election, and we are here to share some key dates to help you participate in the process.
Good news! Due to community pressure and Michigan elected officials, the Trump administration has caved and will be offloading buildings and warehouses that were going to be future immigration detention centers. Together, we can continue the pressure to protect our families and neighbors from ICE.

The situation happening at the North Lake detention center is extremely concerning. Our immigrant community deserves so much better than this.
