As always, our meetings are open to all workers, but only members in good standing may have voice and vote.

You are America's forgotten block of voters! You are 90+ million strong! You are proud! And you are the majority - THE NON-VOTERS!

On Saturday, April 21st, Michael Moore, One Michigan and Detroit community organizers are congregating the first of it's kind Non-Voter Gathering. This will NOT be a lecture or a history lesson. It will be an opportunity for American patriots who love their families, their friends and their communities, but decided to not participate -- and all for good reasons.

It is our time to come together for public action.

To prepare for this public action, we’re offering Nonviolent Moral Fusion Direct Action Trainings around the state. Please register for the training on Sunday, April 29 from 2 to 6 pm at St Peter’s Episcopal Church, 1950 Trumbull Ave, Detroit, MI 48216.

Stand in solidarity with the growing ranks of injured, fired GM workers demanding justice, and the expanding resistance to illegal home evictions. Join members of the MCHR Colombian Solidarity Delegation for a report back and call to action.

As a growing coalition of teachers, school staff, and youth organizers, we are committed to making our schools & classrooms safer and more supportive spaces for our immigrant students. We're also committed to organizing for policy change.

But in order to do this, we need to hear from and center our immigrant students!

At the student-led teach-in, students will share their experiences, their knowledge, and their perspectives as immigrant students. We know that those who are closest to the problem are closest to the solutions!

April 23, 2018, marks the 65th anniversary of Enbridge’s easement that allows them to operate Line 5 in the Straits of Mackinac. It's time for Line 5 to retire because 65 years of this pipeline remaining as a threat to the Great Lakes is long enough.

Join us for this special event. We'll watch the livestream video from Traverse City Opera House, and talk with each other about the actions we can all take to shut this pipeline down.

We're providing food and beverages. Come for a great time to learn about this pipeline and how to take action this summer.

Join Indivisible groups for a visit to Debbie Stabenow's Detroit office. We will meet with her staff to talk about banking regulation, gun control, Trump's war cabinet, and the Dreamers, among other issues.
