As your State Senator, I have been fighting to make Michigan a state where you and your loved ones can thrive, no matter the color of your skin, who you love, or the amount of money in your wallet. As elected officials, our actions <\/span>\u2014 <\/span>both the policies we put in place and budget decisions we make <\/span>\u2014<\/span> should underscore the very fact that we all deserve to be treated with dignity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We remember and pay respect to Martin Luther King, Jr. whose courage, tenacity and leadership forged a more inclusive and just future for our nation. His efforts, along with the tireless work and sacrifice of many other social justice trailblazers, helped lay a progressive foundation that we continue to build on today.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From <\/span>banning race-based hair discrimination<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>expanding historic protections for our LGBTQ+ community<\/span><\/a> to passing legislation <\/span>combating hate crimes<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>permanently establishing Michigan\u2019s Black Leadership Advisory Council<\/span><\/a>, my Senate Democratic colleagues and I have been laser-focused on continuing Dr. King\u2019s work here in our state. This year, we remain committed to championing legislation and investments to uplift Michiganders across the state, especially for communities who have been historically marginalized and underrepresented.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
