Here are a few points you can include:
● The current petition language is clear and accurately explains what the proposal does.
● More than 560,000 Michigan voters signed the petition with this language.
● The language was previously approved unanimously by the Board of State Canvassers before signature collection began.
● Michigan voters deserve to see the same language they reviewed and signed on the ballot.

Keep fighting until November!

🗣️Your voice needed: Houghton County Commissioner Joel Keranen has—once again—embarrassed the county he represents.

This 4th of July on the 250th anniversary of the United States’ independence, he led an event that glorified ICE and white supremacy through racist stereotypes. This follows his December resolution attempting to erase q***r community members.

This is not who we are in Houghton County. This is not acceptable conduct from our public servants.

📣Join concerned community members at the next Houghton County Commissioner meeting on Tuesday, July 14th at 6 pm. Speak up at the end-of-meeting public comment section (item G) to tell him how his actions affect our community.

WHAT: Houghton County Commissioners Meeting
WHEN: Tuesday, July 14th at 6 pm
WHERE: Houghton County Courthouse, 3rd floor, 401 E. Houghton Ave., Houghton, MI
