We cannot allow extremists to roll back our progress on LGBTQ rights in Michigan. Equality is on the 2024 ballot. LGBTQ Nation: “It’s been a long journey of pushing for LGBTQ rights and watching this virulent opposition to LGBTQ rights form,” Moss said.

Pundits will contort themselves to create a narrative. STOP! White supremacy won. Homophobia won. Xenophobia won. Sexism won. That's it.

A statement from ACLU of Michigan Executive Director Loren Khogali: I know that many of you are feeling a mix of fear, rage, and worry about the results of the presidential election and what's to come. Me too.

Through our grief and anger, however, let’s not forget what the people of Michigan are capable of when we work and build together.  We made Michigan a model by protecting reproductive rights when the U.S. Supreme Court failed us.

The Contraception Equity Package has passed in the Michigan House of Representatives! 🙌 Thank you Julie M Rogers, @KaraHope74, and Rep. Stephanie A. Young for the 16th District for sponsoring this vital legislation to improve contraceptive access in Michigan! 💖 #MILeg #BirthControl

16 stakeholders, Stephanie Chang (D), and Sen. Roger Victory (R) working to get the word out about the critical importance of the MI Senate passing HB 4630 to ensure that children have access to legal counsel, as required by the Constitution. Let's get this done, Senators! #MILeg

One policy that would definitively pass with bipartisan support: subjecting the Governor & Legislture to FOIA requests. I’ve honestly never read a better explainer about why FOIA is important to you and all Michiganders than from Khalil AlHajal in Detroit Free Press: freep.com/story/opinion/…

As the Michigan House of Representatives has adjourned for the year, we are left reflecting on the stark gap between what could have been and what was delivered.

I agree with Gongwer Michigan (State Affairs Michigan): "Unbelievable." This was my 11th lame duck over 20 years of working in & around #MILeg. Never seen anything like it. We had some important wins. But, in the end, most of the State Bar of Michigan's legislative agenda was wiped out. 1/6

Takeaway from this #mileg hearing to gut paid leave & minimum wage laws: Many employers keep bringing up that they don't trust their employees to 1) show up 2) be honest about sick leave. That's a damning view of the hard workers across the state.
