January 16, 2016. Standing with @karenaboutflint and @RevJJackson as a federal emergency was declared for Flint. A public health crisis. A civil rights moment. Community truth forcing national action. Still serving for a government that works for all of us. #2016isthenew2026

A month ago, I issued a release warning that ICE raids put children in harm’s way & called for support of MI legislation to rein in dangerous immigration enforcement practices. This was foreseeable. No one should praise or protect masked ICE agents engaging in lawless behavior.
“For people who go through the trouble of manipulating a photo of a Black woman to make her look darker and menacing, inflating and mischaracterizing the facts is par for the course,” he wrote. Read here 👉🏾 bit.ly/49ralO2
A child is without their mom bc of aggressive, fear-driven enforcement. That isn’t public safety. It’s MAGA policies treating people as threats, undermining due process, erasure of dignity. Public safety must never cost human life. Ever. We owe this family truth, accountability.
Thanks to Dr. Charles Coleman, Janet Nash, Joyce Seals, & Vera Harrison for your endorsements & trust in me. As respected education leaders your support means a lot. I’m grateful for your commitment to our children, & community.

I’m deeply grateful for Rep. @JimmieWilsonJr1 for his belief in this campaign. His leadership, integrity, and commitment to working families mean a great deal to me. I’m honored to stand alongside him as we fight for students, communities, and a Michigan that works for all.
This endorsement from Dan Soza means a lot to me. Our fathers worked together at Delta College to open doors for Black and Latino students, a legacy of access and opportunity that still guides my work today. I’m grateful for Dan’s trust and leadership.
Grateful to @Press4BC not just for writing this letter, but for the heart, courage, and leadership behind it. Knowing Mason personally, his trust and belief in what we can build together for our region means more than words can say. Thank you, Mason.

Let’s cut through the noise: Members of the GOP and some media voices are spreading fear and misinformation about Michigan’s proposed updates to Michigan’s health education standards. Please join me in putting FACTS over FEAR. Kids over politics.
