Michigan's LGBTQ+ community doesn't take a break in July, and neither should you. I need you to commit to actively defending LGBTQ+ rights year-round — through legislation, public statements, and pushback against federal rollbacks — not just when Pride month makes it politically convenient. Look at
From a verified voter in Stevensville, MIProsecute Anti-Trans Attacks as Hate Crimes
A transgender woman was physically assaulted at a public venue — her skirt and underwear yanked down in front of children — and the attacker walked away with four misdemeanors. That is not justice. The victim told police she believes she was targeted because she is transgender. This should be prosec
From a verified voter in Stevensville, MIProtect Trans Lives: End the Rhetoric That Fuels Violence
A 19-year-old transgender woman was murdered in her own home — the laundry room of her UW residence hall. Her death is not an isolated tragedy. It is the direct consequence of a political climate that treats transgender existence as a debate rather than a fact, and you have a responsibility to say s
From a verified voter in Stevensville, MIFund Transgender Healthcare Access Now
Blocking anti-trans legislation is not enough. With over 40 hospitals nationwide pausing or ending gender-affirming care under federal pressure, trans residents in this state are losing access to care right now. Defending rights on paper means nothing if people can't get treatment. This state needs

From a verified voter in Stevensville, MIProtect Transgender Workers From Workplace Discrimination
Transgender workers deserve the same dignity and safety on the job as anyone else, and I want you to take concrete action to protect them.

From a verified voter in Stevensville, MIProtect Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth
The data is clear: protect gender-affirming care for transgender youth and stop letting political pressure override medical evidence.

Do everything in your power to protect access to reproductive and transgender healthcare in this state.

From a verified voter in Stevensville, MIBlock Anti-Trans Ballot Initiatives Targeting Minority Rights
A person's existence isn't up for debate, and a majority shouldn't get to vote on a minority group's rights. The coordinated push to put anti-trans restrictions on ballots in Colorado, Washington, Maine, and Missouri isn't grassroots democracy — it's the same 2004 playbook used to strip same-sex cou

Trans Americans are applying for emergency Canadian citizenship certificates in as little as two weeks because they fear for their safety here at home. That is not a statistic to skim past. People are activating foreign immigration law to escape conditions in their own country, and the fact that Can

Colorado just showed every state in the country how to get this done. After the Supreme Court struck down the original ban in Chiles v. Salazar on First Amendment grounds, Colorado legislators rewrote the law — viewpoint-neutral language and all — and passed House Bill 26-1322 on May 7th. The Court'
