TC Housing Justice Organizer Workshop March 22-23, where we planned a year of action. Next up is our Carpool Caravan to help transport people from the Safe Harbor shelter when it closes on April 30th. Please RSVP to volunteer at this event by emailing [email protected]
Announcing the release of a report exposing the “The Darker Side of Consumers Energy” from WTP and our partners! Our report exposes the way big utility corporations like Consumers Energy buy off our politics in order to grow the bank accounts of investors and shareholders….
Our amazing Kalamazoo organizer Tristen & her leaders rallied, marched & gave powerful testimonies in favor of housing solutions for working people in Kzoo, instead of developers who gentrify the city. The vote didn’t go their way THIS TIME, but this is far from over…
We the People Action Fund is proud to endorse two progressive candidates in MI's upcoming special elections: Layla Taha & Mai Xiong in Michigan's 25th & 13th State HD! Check out your voter reg. or apply for an absentee ballot here: michigan.gov/vote. See yall Jan. 30th!
“The problem is that state and local governments are raising most of their tax revenue from regressive taxes on what people buy, or the homes that they own or rent, and those expenses swallow up a larger share of income for low- and middle-income people.”

Why are #Michigan's lowest-income residents paying higher state & local taxes than the wealthiest residents of our state? Together, we can demand that our lawmakers rewrite the rules so nothing stands in the way of us providing a great life for our families. #FundMIFuture

Our recent poll with @DataProgress shows clear majorities in MI want a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. A popular & moral position. The US has to use its huge influence to end the massacre of precious Palestinians & steer resources away from destruction & towards human flourishing.

Communities are rising up to say: From Palestine, to Mexico, all borders and militarized violence have got to go! Immigrant communities REFUSE to be a scapegoat for genocide! We demand a #CeasefireNOW & an end to abusive immigration enforcement agencies. #DemilitarizeTheBorder
Congress & weapons manufacturers are making millions while Israel kills tens of thousands of Palestinians with US-made bombs. Who do members of Congress really work for? We the people or arms dealers & warmongers? #StopArmingIsrael #CeasefireNOW peopledemand.org/take-action
80+ movement leaders from across the US, incl our own @ArtReyesIII, are protesting @ the Capitol to stop Biden’s $106 billion deadly deal. Congress must #StopArmingIsrael & protect immigrant families: CHOOSE LIFE, NOT WEAPONS & GENOCIDE! TAKE ACTION: peopledemand.org/take-action

Detroit is now the largest city in the US to call for a ceasefire. Big props to all the organizers who fought for this & to my sis @gabysantiromero for her leadership. “If we are accused of picking a side, surely we are picking up the side of humanity.” - GSR #CeasefireNOW

How do we get rent control in Michigan? Join us this Thursday at our Detroit office for an info session and training where we will discuss what it takes to lift the ban and build some tangible skills for doing so. bit.ly/wtpnestspace
We’re gonna keep saying it. This is a litmus test to see if they can silence all forms of resistance. First the press, then their bureaucratic circles. We the people are next and they been building the surveilance capacity to do it too

I am the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, and my perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let anyone distort my words. I’m from Detroit, where I learned to speak truth to power, even if my voice shakes.

NEW POLL with @WeThePeople_MI: Two-thirds of Detroit-area voters say they support the U.S. calling for a permanent ceasefire and de-escalation of violence in Gaza, including majorities of Democrats (80%) and Independents (66%). dataforprogress.org/blog/2023/12/2…

Immigrant rights advocates demand passage of Drive SAFE bills. bit.ly/3M59RCr
The @DriveMIForward coalition rallied in @SpeakerJoeTate's district this evening. Michigan's immigrant communities and his constituents are calling on him to hold a vote on #DriveSAFE legislation, which would restore driver’s licenses for all.
Let’s get the #DriveSAFEbills passed this year! 🪪
It was an honor to welcome #EARNcon2023 to Detroit! Great panel discussion with Simon Marshall-Shah @MichLeague @bsneezy313 @stephanielily & @NellyFuentess. Let’s make #driveSAFE happen in Michigan
Today in MN, families can get their licenses! This means a mom can take her kids for a drive to see the fall colors change w/out looking in the rear view mirror worried about her family being torn apart. We all deserve that joy w/out fear. It’s time to pass #DriceSAFE in MI.
Everyone, regardless of race, zip code or immigration status deserves the freedom to drive. #DL4All goes live today! This is what folks applying should know! 1/4
Think about your daily commute. Don’t you want every driver sharing the road to be licensed, insured—and to have passed a road test? That’s what Michigan’s Drive SAFE legislation will help ensure. The legislation will keep ALL of us safer on our roads. /1 detroitnews.com/story/opinion/…
