Last week, we introduced bicameral and bipartisan legislation alongside State Sen. Chang, State Rep. Sharon MacDonell, and others to license hyperbaric chamber facilities across Michigan.
If passed Michigan would be the 1st state in the country to do so.

I will continue that work here in Lansing, as well as in DC, to bring resources home to the people who need it the most. No matter where you live, I will always fight for you π

Nobody brought home resources to each & every community like she did. Itβs a feat I strive to work towards everyday.
As the only Detroiter on House Appropriations these past 2 terms, I've had the honor of bringing home $$$ to the city of Detroit and EVERY surrounding community.
I was recently interviewed at the Capitol Rotunda about who I admire in my legislative journey. I spoke about the legacy of the late great Honorable Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks-Kilpatrick. She was known to me as a "True Appropriater."
Let me be clear: there should be no war with Iran. And we need a Democratic Party that doesnβt just take issue with the procedure of starting a war, but is truly committed to ending all forever wars.
We know that Detroitβs children, children in neighborhoods like ours, will be sent to fight this war. Weβre tired of seeing families broken and our tax dollars wasted just to further enrich the billionaire class profiting on war. Our tax dollars must be invested in our communities instead.
So proud of Indivisible Downriver/Western Wayne County, Michigan United, and so many others for organizing this event with little to no planning time.
We will always stand with the people and fight back against injustice ππΎ

#SayNoToICE
Yesterday, I was invited to speak at the No ICE Detention Facility Protest in Romulus π£
Over 500 people came out in the winter cold to make their voices heard and say NO TO ICE π
This isn't about cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. This is about eliminating resources from Michiganders who need it the most.
I can think of many things where $340M could go towards like helping bring down costs for everyday working families.

Listen to 1 of the questions I asked the House Fiscal Agency about the impacts of HR 1 (βOne Big Ugly Bill") on MI taxpayers.
Outside of healthcare, the primary change would be to the state's food assistance program & MI residents would have to pay $340M more for administrative costs, etc.
Our Formerly Incarcerated TownHall is TONIGHT 5pm-8pm at the Horatio Williams Center (1010 Antietam Ave, Detroit, MI 48207).
There will be free food, opportunities for healing, fellowship, & dialogue about how the criminal justice system has broken up families just like mine.

Happy 1st Day of Black History Month ππΎ
During a time when some are actively trying to erase Black history, itβs especially important to celebrate and call attention to Black Americans who have shaped our world's history with innovation and leadership.

We cannot let them get away with invading our communities, kidnapping our neighbors, and killing with impunity. We must abolish ICE NOW.

Also, fighting against injustice, wanting better for our world & the people who live in it, is not a "too radical" or "too progressive" idea. It is an idea we all must strive to achieve!
Dr. Davis: "Justice is indivisible. You can't decide who gets civil rights and who doesn't."
I say all this to say, every deed (no matter how small) can lead to having the biggest impacts. So to those folks who want to give up or whoβve lost hope that things can't change for the better, just know that it can. And it will change if you keep going & serving GOD's people ππΎ
So we did what organizers do, we organized & demanded that they pay for it & GUESS WHAT the University did π
7 years later, the esteemed Dr. Davis was invited to UMichβs 34th Annual MLK Symposium, this time to deliver the KEYNOTE ADDRESS to a packed room in Hill Auditorium π
