With less than 80,000 signatures to go, we’re turning up the heat on Michigan’s Dictator Law. Below are some volunteer opportunities here in the Metro Detroit area our campaign needs your help with. Democracy is the only option we have to turn not just Detroit around in its financial crisis but to protect the many communities and hundreds of school districts facing fiscal crisis.
Please see the below events and coordination efforts as we work to close the door on this phase of the campaign!
