Dearborn is an American city. You wouldn't know it from the WSJ op-ed.

(1/3) Exciting news! Thanks to Prop 2 of 2022, Michigan voters now have the right to sign up to become a permanent mail voter, that is, to submit one signed application that will enable them to receive an absentee ballot before all future elections.

Diego Rivera’s fresco Detroit Industry Murals in @DIADetroit’s Garden Court is one of my favorite places in the city. Special opportunity to be with Wayne RESA’s countywide public school superintendents, learning more about how to connect our students with art culture & education

Starting children in preschool is where a child’s education must start. With time and working together with Michigan’s lawmakers and educators, we will overcome the hurdles and make the investment needed to ensure universal preschool for all in Michigan!

This week, Wayne RESA testified during a senate legislative committee meeting about the importance of universal, voluntary, Pre-K that has no income thresholds. We support @GovWhitmer’s vision. While there are challenges, together we can overcome them.

2022 was a historic year - the people of Michigan spoke loud and clear to protect their voting and reproductive healthcare rights. Ready for 2023!

[ACLU of Michigan @ACLUofMichigan]

In 2022, the ACLU of Michigan brought the formidable power of its legal, political, and organizing efforts to protect the fundamental constitutional rights of every person in Michigan.

[ACLU of Michigan @ACLUofMichigan]

That looks like our Legislative Director @Mkovach217 in that viewfinder!

We will continue to use every tool in our toolbelt to eliminate barriers to abortion and ensure this essential healthcare and all forms of reproductive healthcare is accessible and delivered equitably.
