Lansing

Join For Our Future - Michigan to talk to neighbors and friends as we call constituents throughout the greater Lansing area from 4: 30 pm - 6:00 pm to spread the word about our pressuing legislators efforts to eliminate Paid Sick Leave and rollback the $12 Minimun Wage befroe the end of the year.

Help us by telling your co-workers, love-ones, and friends to let their State Representative know that these are common-sense benefits working families need and deserve.

ALL OUT for a protest at the State Capitol! We will be gathering at the steps of the Capitol Tuesday to raise our voices in anger against the GOP for their anti-democratic takeover of our government.

The lame duck session has taken over Earned Paid Sick Leave and the Minimum Wage ballot initiatives and gutted them. Hundreds of thousands of voters signed a petition to put these to a state wide vote; Republicans have taken this voice away from voters and gutted the legislation themselves, "in the dead of night". This is no less than a coup.

Join Michigan LCV on Tuesday, December 4 in Lansing (the House Democrats Press Room, House Office Building, 11th floor) to tell lawmakers that we demand PFAS action NOW.

We’ll be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with experts and residents who have been impacted by PFAS-contaminated drinking water and lobbying lawmakers to urge them to act.

Join us this Friday, Dec. 14 from 12-2:45pm! We'll be meeting at the Lansing public library (401 S Capitol Ave, Lansing, MI 48933) at 11:45 and will be marching on the BCBS headquarters (232 S Capitol Ave L04A, Lansing, MI 48933) at 12:15 pm.

Gretchen Whitmer announced that Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan CEO Dan Loepp, a man who makes $13 million dollars a year while thousands of Michiganders go uninsured, is helping shape the agenda of our next governor. This is wrong.

On Nov 28, One Fair Wage and our statewide allies will host a legislative education day at the State Capitol. This will be an important day for us as we will be going directly to lawmakers to urge them to stand with Michigan's 1.3 million minimum wage workers by protecting the raise they won.
