We’ll have two exceptional women joining us on Saturday morning to help us gain a better understanding of current threats to both our immigrant neighbors and our voting rights — and what we can do about both.
It all starts with our renowned 9:30 coffee & breakfast treats klatch, with community and Party announcements at 10–including all the information you need to know about our Fourth of July Parades and when and where to join us.
Then, at 10:15, Barb Byrum will join us IN PERSON to talk to us about elections, voting rights, and potential changes to our election laws, as well as her candidacy for Michigan’s Secretary of State.
Barb Byrum is currently serving in her fourth term as Ingham County Clerk, acting as the County’s Chief Elections Official. As the Clerk of one of the most populous counties in the State of Michigan, Byrum previously served three terms as a Michigan State Representative, serving the 67th House District. During her time in the Legislature, she served as the ranking Democrat on the House Committee on Redistricting and Elections.
After a brief Q&A with Barb, we’ll have the privilege of hearing from Julie Powers, the director of Immigration Law & Justice Michigan.
With The Felon and ICE running amok in California, our greatest farm state, it’s time to see what’s up in our second greatest farm state– Michigan.
Yup: Only California grows a wider variety of crops than Michigan. Did you know we have a $100 billion-plus ag industry?
Yet we hear almost nothing about ICE “enforcement” here, even as that rogue agency, often hiding behind masks and badge-less “uniforms”, prepares a large prison in Baldwin for folks we depend on for our food and strong economy
Julie will explain how crucial migrant workers are to our farming and tourism; what’s happening to them around the state; and best ways both to help them and resist the illegal, unconstitutional acts surely headed to Michigan.
