If you keep in touch with any local organizing at all, you know that events take place nearly daily now, all across Michigan. The best I can do is point you to other sources of updated information.
If you are on Facebook, you may be interested in joining Forward Action Michigan for updates. That’s a decent resource. The community calendar Activate! 313 would like to cover events in SE Michigan (even outside the 313) so they merit checking out — and supplying information to — as well. Obviously, I am not well-informed about much outside SE Michigan anyway, and even then I don’t claim to be comprehensively aware. If YOU have other excellent calendars and event clearinghouses to promote, please put them in the comments. List below the fold.
But an important UPDATE is here, courtesy the Michigan Democratic Party. RSVP HERE
DAY OF ACTION to save health care. Sunday, January 15, UAW Region 1 in Warren, 12:30 PM -
From an email this morning (Friday 1/6) by Brandon Dillon, MDP Chair, to MDP members:
On Sunday, January 15, communities across our country will be participating in a Day of Action - “Our First Stand: Save Health Care” – and we need your help!
Please help us take a stand and make sure Michigan’s voice is heard by joining me, U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Debbie Stabenow, Senator Gary Peters, and other Michigan congressional members at a statewide rally – Sunday, January 15, 12:30 p.m., at UAW Region 1 Pavilion, 27800 George Merrelli Drive in Warren. Click here … to RSVP.
The Republican plan will put insurance companies back in charge by repealing patient protections for every American who has insurance. They plan to take away health care coverage for over 30 million Americans by dismantling the health care system and ending guaranteed Medicare benefits by converting Medicare into a voucher program. Their plans threaten nursing home care for over 4 million seniors by slashing Medicaid and dramatically increasing prescription drug prices for seniors and the disabled.
It's important that Michigan’s voice be heard in this debate. Please join us in this day of action and share this message with your friends and family on social media.
Be sure to RSVP by clicking here now. I look forward to seeing you there and taking a stand together.
