The nonunion Associated Builders & Contractors came for Ann Arbor during Lansing's debate over best value procurement. My response. #a2council

Opinion: Eyer: Lansing’s responsible contractor ordinance gets best value for taxpayers https://t.co/nwTH8B542R

Proud to lead the way in Michigan! On Oct 15, East Lansing passed Ordinance 1541, inspired by #A2Council Driving Equality Ordinance, which I led on July 6, 2023, honoring Philando Castile. Who’s next? Congratulations @CityofEL! Thanks @CMThomasPHL @verainstitute #DrivingEquality

Today is a day to mourn, and it’s also a time to think about next steps. Please reach out if you want to get involved or check these resources: https://t.co/sDw4fnfkKD and https://t.co/xRrKWrLJ9y

Ann Arbor voters rejected 2 citizen-led ballot proposals that would have paved the way for conservative candidates to get elected. The margin was 2-1, similar to those by which my progressive colleagues and I were elected in primaries. #a2council 🧵

A2 friends: If you’re feeling hopeless today, please know that you can help us continue to lead Ann Arbor forward. We need you to serve on city boards and commissions, or to volunteer with one of the many nonprofit partners doing great work in this community.

Prop C & D supporters say that I’m ‘interchangeable’ with any other Black woman. I ran for City Council to challenge this mindset and to represent those often ignored.  Here’s why I’m voting NO.  https://t.co/tksWvGcTga #a2council  #misogynoir  #NotAPuppet

15% of the 3.2 Million Michiganders who have already voted this year did not vote in 2020.

Who are these 491K voters?
✅ 55% women, 45% men
✅ 136K are 18-21 years old (ineligible to vote in 2020)
✅ 73K are 22-30 years old
✅ 106K are over 60 years old

Honored that #a2council’s passage of the Right to Sit ordinance is paving the way for workers’ rights across Michigan. Grateful to Reps @DylanWegela, @RepRheingans, & others for introducing HB 5983 at the state level. I urge the Michigan Legislature to pass it! #MiRightToSit

When we vote, we win! Make a plan to get out the vote — only 8 more days, #A2Council!

[Jen Eyer (she/her) @jeneyer]

@nifi22 @a2_pitchbot Knocking doors yesterday, the one person who told me they were voting yes on C was Republican.

[Travis Radina @TravisRadina]

Who is funding A2 Props C & D?

To start:
$87k from a landlord.
$35k from an out-of-state PAC.
$25k from a Republican.

This was never about fair elections or big money - Proposals C & D are a deceptive ploy to put anti-housing conservatives back in power.

VOTE NO! #A2Council

[Jen Eyer (she/her) @jeneyer]

On Monday, #a2council passed a "Right to Sit" ordinance, granting workers in the city the right to sit down on the job as long as it doesn’t interfere with their duties. I shared a personal story about why the law is necessary. https://t.co/gIPqQf3Adu

[Jen Eyer (she/her) @jeneyer]

@DAnalogArsonist @jenncornell I would need to think about that. Bottom line is I support the electoral reform A2 voters already passed with RCV. And I am helping to work on getting the change in state law so we can implement it.
