Voter Education Network

"Nearly 10% of adults in Detroit speak a language other than English at home, according to 2014 figures compiled by New American Economy. The language access program provides materials in Arabic, Bangla, Burmese, English, Hindi, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, Tagalog and Urdu, and Hammoud said that the new, community-sourced translations are ones that voters can trust, in contrast to some translated voter materials of questionable accuracy released by the state in the past."

Black Lives Matter Lansing

Mayor Virg Bernero created a $100K line item for President Obama's My Brother's Keeper Challenge and called upon One Love Global to convene that work for our region. Not only did we convene our region, with the blessing of the White House, we organized MBK Michigan. Mayor Bernero declared from day 1 that girls must be included for him to get behind it. Girls Equity Network was born. That is what community partnership looks like. That is what community control of resources looks like.

Mayor's Schor's defense is that this is about us wanting control of funds. He is 100% correct. BLM and our allies (thank you allies) protested at City Hall for those funds after three years of laboring for free. You live here and represented Lansing but I guess you weren't aware of that. We were told by Bishop David Maxwell that the funds were secure. We learned differently in the media when the budget was released.

How dare we demand control of the funds we fought for? Because we are not slaves to white supremacy. That's how we dare. Truth be told, we demanded $1M from the police budget and both Mayor Bernero and Chief Yankowski knew our demands in advance of the prayer in protest. Any politician worth their salt would have been better prepared. He scores low on that alone. When we are caught off guard we can only go with what's in our gut and what we know. We saw what's inside of this man and what he knows.

FIGHTING FOR A FAIR & FAITHFUL CENSUS

The 2020 census will profoundly impact the future of our democracy and the health of our communities. Ensuring a complete count is a moral necessity. We must work together to ensure that the census promotes equality, not exclusion.

In past censuses, millions of children, people of color, low-income people and immigrants have gone uncounted -- perpetuating systemic racism, undermining political representation, and underfunding resources we all use, everything from hospitals to roads to schools for the next 10 years.

People of faith like you can help fix that by educating our friends, neighbors and faith communities about how to participate in the 2020 Census -- and why it’s so important. BECOME A CENSUS AMBASSADOR TODAY

""The 'Lawns to Legumes' program, tucked into a sweeping environmental program funding bill, will provide $900,000 in one year to cover most of the cost of turning traditional residential lawns into pollinator habitats.

To be eligible, yards must be planted with 'native vegetation and pollinator-friendly' flowering plants and legumes, including dutch white clover, creeping thyme and various wildflowers and grasses."
