In March, Governor Whitmer unveiled her proposed budget. It included a $507 million funding increase for schools, with a focus on students in special education and in poverty.
NOW WHAT???!!
The proposed budget has to go through a complicated process in the Legislature, and we will have to fight to get that funding increase through.
So, join us at this town hall near you for a breakdown of what's been proposed, what we still need, and how we can win it all. You'll leave with your own action plan to make a difference.

Join us for a vigil to expose ICE violence, to say stop separating families at the border and in Kent County, and to demand that ICE leave Kent County. Everyday we are hearing news about all the atrocities and human rights violations happening to immigrants at the US/Mexican border, which are injustices being perpetrated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. We know that ICE agents are doing harm on a weekly basis here in Kent County, separating families and detaining people for no other reason than they are undocumented or because they are driving without a license.

Join the Grand Rapids Democracy Initiative - GRDI for an informational happy hour. Ballot Committee members will be available to answer questions about the initiative and to train volunteers interested in gathering signatures.
About GRDI:
This ballot initiative would allow Grand Rapids residents to decide if they would like the city re-districted into 8 wards instead of three - with one commissioner per ward. The second piece of the initiative would require the city to hold elections for seats vacated mid-term rather than appointments by sitting commissioners.
